Handmade with Heart: Meet the Crocheters & Knitters of Market on Main

 

There’s something truly special about handmade fiber art, the kind you can feel the moment you pick it up. At Market on Main, we’re so excited to feature a group of incredibly talented crocheters and knitters who pour their time, creativity, and heart into every single stitch.

In a world of fast fashion and mass production, these makers offer something different: pieces that are thoughtfully created, beautifully detailed, and completely one of a kind.

Watch the Magic Happen

One of the highlights this year will be Kathy Krieg, who will be bringing her spinning wheel to the market. Yes - an actual spinning wheel! You’ll have the chance to see yarn being spun right in front of you, a process that connects us to generations of fiber artists before us. And, you guys, I've been trying to spin wool into yarn so you can believe me when I say this is an amazing skill. I'm happy if I am able to keep my wheel from going the wrong direction, lol!

Not only will Kathy be demonstrating this timeless craft, but she’ll also have her finished knitted items available for purchase. It’s a rare opportunity to see the full journey, from fiber to finished piece, all in one place. You might know Kathy's sister Denise of Twisted Tines!

Cute, Cozy, and Full of Personality

The Knotty Sisters are bringing a fun and playful mix of handmade goods, including plushies, breezy summer tops, and so many adorable items you won’t be able to resist. Whether you’re looking for a small gift or a statement piece, they offer a variety of price points, making handmade accessible for everyone.

KT Craft Cove will also be joining us with their charming plushies - perfect for kids and the young at heart - along with candles that add a cozy, comforting touch to any space. It’s a unique blend of fiber art and home fragrance you won’t find just anywhere. Read more HERE!

A Little Boho Crochet Magic

And of course, you’ll also find Hippie Stitches by Shannon at the market, featuring boho-inspired crochet apparel and accessories. Think relaxed, free-spirited pieces that blend comfort, style, and creativity - perfect for adding a handmade touch to your wardrobe. Read more HERE!

Why Handmade Matters

Every crocheted or knitted item you see at the market represents hours of work. From selecting the yarn, to designing or following a pattern, to stitching each piece by hand...it’s a slow, intentional process.

No two items are exactly alike. Even when following the same pattern, each maker’s tension, color choices, and creative touches make every piece uniquely theirs. That’s the beauty of handmade: you’re not just buying an item, you’re taking home a story, a skill, and a piece of someone’s passion.

Come Find Your Favorite

Whether you’re drawn to the nostalgia of a spinning wheel, the charm of a handmade plushie, or the effortless style of boho crochet, there’s something waiting for you at Market on Main.

Come meet the makers, ask questions, and discover the beauty of fiber art... one stitch at a time.
