About Me

I’m Nancy Knight, and I’m so grateful you stopped by to explore my Handworkt creations! My passion for fiber and stitching started in childhood with Knitting and crochet. After college, I owned a needlework shop that included a section of antique goods – another passion of mine! Over the years I’ve developed a love for collecting and crafting unique treasures. I now live in the Smokey Mountains, providing endless inspiration. Join me as I continue to create new pieces each month, drawn from my collection and imagination.

I belong to a group of artisans where we sell our work collectively at Primitive Handmades Mercantile. I will also list items for sale here and on my Facebook page at Handworkt.

I also work in concert with Robin Leuschen, Bird in the Hand Primitives. Robin is a gifted watercolor artist who transcribes her artwork into punchneedle, rug hooking, cross stitch and wool applique. I collaborate with her on color planning and executing the models to create the patterns that can be purchased in her Etsy shop.
