Couture Knits, Crochet Scarves, Capes, Cowls, Hats and Cuffs. Welcome to my shop! All items are designed and handcrafted by me. If it has to do with stitches, I do it. I have a design studio in the Los Angeles area (LA General Store Design Studio) where I create all things stitched, sewn, embellished, knitted, crocheted,and beaded. I don't use patterns for any of my knit or crochet items. I let the yarn inspire me to individually design each item. My use of color, texture and type of yarn is what makes every item unique. I strive to combine beautiful form with great function.
At my studio, I design for my customers from photos, drawings or descriptions. I sketch them and enjoy bringing their ideas to life. There is inspiration and love in every stitch of what I create, whether it be sewn, beaded, knitted or crochet.
There are three divisions of LA In Stitches:
1. "Scarf It Up" is my line of hand made scarves. I use interesting stitches and combinations of yarns. This gives my scarves texture along with warmth and durability. Some scarves are long, some narrow, some have fringe, some have beading and some have flowers, or other embellishments. All are works of love, inspired by yarns and colors.
2. "Wristful Thinking" is my line of wrist warmers/wristlets. Bracelets inspired me to knit and crochet fashionable and functional accessories. No two are alike, and they are meant to be cute and fun. They can be stacked like bangles or worn as one. I'm not a big fan of matching pairs, so I offer them as singles so they can be mixed. I do offer discounts if more than one is purchased.
3. "Sass Hats" is my line of hats and beanies. This idea was inspired by my teenage daughter who asked for sassier hats. Each hat is one-of-a-kind because I let the yarn "tell" me what type of hat to make. These hats are very warm and cozy, just the thing for chilly weather.
I also do custom orders, so anything can be made to your specifications for size, style and color(s). My motto is, "If you can dream it, I can make it."
