About

Hi, my name is Shelah and I am the owner and maker of Shelah Knits, LLC.

I love making handmade knit hats and accessories, crochet toys and some home decor pieces. I create all the items that I sell and they are all handmade in Alaska.

I started selling online and with my love for texture and color, I started incorporating our beautiful state of Alaska’s inspirations into my work and filled the demand for some handmade items. 

In August 2020, I quit my day job in banking and finance and focused full time in achieving my dream. Being an aspiring small business owner takes a lot of patience, hard work and dedication, and I have the utmost respect for people who pursue their passion. It is my belief that God gave us gifts and abilities for creativity and resourcefulness and we are to use them to live productive lives and inspire and encourage others to do the same.

My favorite activities include hiking, road trips, crochet and knitting. I do a little bit of designing, and testing knitwear for other designers. I also do some blogging and while I incorporate some blog posts here, I also have my main blog at shelahknitsblog.com.

You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Ravelry. Thank you for visiting!
