This site is ongoing. I try to add something new every day, so even if you've been here before, please keep coming back to see what's new. It could be a new pattern, instructions for a new stitch, a new video, a new celebrity story or more tips. Also be sure to check my blog.
Since 1977 my company, TOPAZ KNITWEAR, has been making knits for films and TV Shows. Stars such as Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie, Diane Keaton, Whoopi Goldberg, Freddy Kruger, Kevin Costner and Underdog, to name a few, have all worn TOPAZ knits in their movies, TV Shows, or concerts. Most of those knits were made on a knitting machine in Hollywood, but hand knitting has always been in my life.
Have fun reading the celebrity stories and have fun knitting.
