The Kiki Gallery is a knit pattern design company. Kelly Gaffney is a product fashion designer. She has been a professional knit designer since 2014 when she created her first hat pattern. Now, countless designs later, she sells her patterns around the world. She has even sold patterns in Antarctica!

Her love for travel has inspired many of her designs. Kelly’s first visit to London and Paris opened her up to an international flavor of design and aesthetic. Her journeys to Ireland, Scotland, India, and the Galapagos Islands brought her a new appreciation of design and inspiration.

Living in many states of the United States, she has developed an appreciation for the variety of cultures in a single country. This compassion has translated into her designs. 

The initials TKG stand for The Kiki Gallery in honor of her mother, Kristine, who passed away from cancer. Her nickname was Kiki, given to her at birth by her sister because she couldn’t pronounce her name yet and it stuck forever.

Also active in supporting the homeless in their struggles, Kelly’s compassion for others is ever-present. She has personally knitted scores of hats that she’s donated to homeless shelters.

Kelly enjoys knitting, traveling, and spending time with her daughter. Her daughter is also an artist who draws, crochets and has multiple published books she has illustrated.
