Nora Bellows was taught to knit by her mom when she was 12 but did not discover the world of felted bags until 2000. Her first bag was made from a simple pattern, but she immediately began to innovate. Soon, her unusual creations attracted the attention of customers in the Baltimore knit shop where she worked to support her knitting habit. She began making bags exclusively for sale in a very few small boutiques around the East Coast. In 2004, she moved (for love!) to Texas, where interest in her bags came more from other knitters than those seeking to purchase them. During the Fall/Winter 2005 season she founded Noni Designs and launched a line of eight fashionable, innovative bag and embellishment patterns that are as beautiful as the designs they feature. Since that time, Noni Designs has gown into a fabulous brand known to knitters throughout the United States. Join her for her first visit to Boston and Dorchester’s Stitch House!
