About us

Welcome to Trinkets By Design, a small, woman-owned business born from the creative spirit of Amy in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the vibrant year of 2025. Amy’s passion for crafting began as a personal joy, transforming simple knitting projects into moments of delight and inspiration. Fueled by a desire to share that happiness with others, she founded this company to bring handmade stitch markers that add charm and personality to every knitter’s work. What started as a dream in her cozy living room has blossomed into a labor of love, dedicated to enhancing the crafting experience for enthusiasts worldwide.

As a small woman-owned business, we take pride in every detail, assembling our stitch markers proudly in the United States with care and dedication. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to reflect the seasons and personal styles, from whimsical autumn leaves to elegant gemstone accents, ensuring every marker tells a story. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship means we work closely with local artisans to source materials and assemble each set by hand, guaranteeing durability and beauty in every trinket. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain a personal touch, making every purchase a celebration of both creativity and community.

At Trinkets By Design, our mission is to infuse joy into every stitch, reflecting Amy’s original vision of uplifting crafters through her designs. We believe that knitting is more than a hobby—it’s a way to connect, relax, and express oneself—and our stitch markers are crafted to be both functional tools and delightful companions on that journey. Whether you’re a beginner picking up needles for the first time or a seasoned pro tackling intricate patterns, our collections are designed to inspire and bring a smile with every row. Priced affordably between $12 and $20, our markers are accessible to all who seek to add a touch of magic to their projects.

Looking ahead, we remain rooted in Cincinnati, where Amy continues to lead with heart and innovation, dreaming up new ways to bring joy to the crafting world. As a small business, we cherish the support of our community and strive to grow sustainably, always prioritizing the happiness of our customers. Every stitch marker assembled in the U.S. carries a piece of our story, a testament to Amy’s unwavering passion and the collective spirit of those who believe in the power of handmade beauty. Join us on this journey, and let’s create something wonderful together.
