About Kelly
I learned knitting from Grandmothers at age 8. I’ve done crafts and knitting and off for years, and really came back to it over the past few years and want to share this relaxing skill with others.
I like to teach people “hand knitting” first, in small groups. Our first projects focus on beautiful, achievable pieces like shawls and blankets. After that we move on to advanced skills in knit and purl, then into crochet.
I’m casual and hands on in class. I’ll sit with you and help you.
Happy Knitting to All!!!

AUTHORTIME with Diane Crecca
2026-09-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Belmar Public Library, 517 10th Ave, Belmar, NJ, 07719, United States
The Nose Knows by Diane Crecca
A JERSEY SHORE BARTENDER WITH A NOSE FOR PERFUME—AND FOR MURDER.
After leaving behind her high-pressure career as a professional “nose,” Erica Sloan returns to the Jersey Shore for a quieter life tending bar at the Harbor Island Beach Club. But her fresh start is shaken when the club’s treasurer is found dead, with Erica’s missing silk scarf at the scene.
Determined to protect her new life and the people she’s come to care about, Erica turns to the skill she knows best: her extraordinary sense of smell. Following an elusive fragrance note, she uncovers long-buried secrets and an unexpected connection to the 1934 Morro Castle disaster, an ocean liner fire whose mysteries still linger along the coast. As tensions rise and warnings turn personal, Erica must rely on her instincts, old loyalties, and a small circle she can trust—including Detective Guy McCullen and her steadfast companion, Levi. Because even years later, the truth still carries a scent.
