Hats, totes & pillows

Coming late winter of 2026!A new collection of handcrafted goods created in small batches by the designer behind Susan KS.Expect warm knit hats, one-of-a-kind woven totes, and decorative throw pillows — blending tactile design with everyday usefulness.

Hello! I'm Susan

I design every cross stitch and punch needle pattern myself and handcraft each knit hat, woven tote, and decorative throw pillow in small batches.I'm a mom, a grandma, and a lifelong maker who returned to creativity after years in the fast-paced corporate world.My mother taught me to knit and sew at an early age. Through her talent, patience, and guiding hand, I discovered the joy of creating and learned to express my creativity through many different fiber arts.Years later, when my children were young, I discovered cross stitch. I was drawn to its calming rhythm and the satisfaction of creating a piece of art with my own hands.Today, I find inspiration during peaceful nature walks, in quiet moments with a cup of green tea, and through everyday lessons from my spirited Rat-Cha, Hazel.When I'm not designing or making, you'll often find me enjoying nature photography, reading cozy mysteries, or exploring new places through my travels, both near and far.I'm glad you're here.
