Natalie Bell is a Fort Wayne native and member of the 13 year club at Canterbury School, and a graduate of Smith College (Northampton, MA) where she earned a BA in French Studies and The Study of Women and Gender.

In the Fall of 2007, her passion for knitting lead her to open Knitting off Broadway in downtown Fort Wayne. Through her business, she continues to delight and inspire knitting enthusiasts from both near and far.

Natalie had such a great time helping her mom Janet raise funds for this event in 2019 and hoped for a chance to participate again. Natalie has been dancing with Quinton on and off since 2018 and is amazed at how much there is to learn. Competitive dancing requires learning and participating in at least 10 different ballroom dances. Preparing for this event has forced her to learn “open choreography” and perform her first solo (GULP)!

When she isn’t at the yarn shop you can find her chasing her toddler, cooking with her partner Doug, or working on one of her many knitting projects.
