My Journey to Etsy and Beyond

Hi, I'm Sheila Zachariae and I own and operate Creative Design aka sheilalikestoknit and SheilaZbyDesign. I was taught to knit by my mother in my teens in the '70's and I quickly went from that to cross stitch and then needlepoint.

Life goes on to a full time job, marriage, a child and then in early in 2004, I was forced to stay off my feet. I pick up the needles and started with knitting a scarf and then another, and then another. Next thing I know, I have 50 of them!

Off to a local art gallery I go to peddle my wares. They loved and sold them all. Creative Design was born. Two upscale children's boutiques later, here I am.

I have been fortunate enough to have my items in numerous online and stand alone children's and women's wear shops.

In 2014 I was a Martha Stewart American Made Nominee. I am a Craftsy Instructor teaching the Classic Cabled Cowl workshop and have been interviewed in Simply Knitting Magazine "Going From Hobby to Business". Happily Hooked Crochet Magazine featured Creative Design on how Crochet Saved My Life, chronicling my heartbreaking, personal journey on how crochet, did indeed, save my life.

I can most often be found in "my chair" surrounded by a pile of yarn, fabric, books, more yarn, needles, another pile of yarn, patterns, more fabric...etc! We love to travel, eat good food, be with family and great friends.

Knitwear: my handmade knitwear is lovingly created by me in the USA! The process of choosing great fabric and yarn colors is half the fun.

My Philosophy: I am committed to quality fabric and fiber. Attention to detail, craftsmanship and customer satisfaction will always be part of that philosophy.

    I have always loved fabric, crafting and needlework. Rediscovering knitting a number of years ago has lead me to fall in love all over again with yarn. Designing with fabric and yarn together to create beautiful knitwear is THE best job ever!

All my handmade knitwear is lovingly made, by me, with special attention made to the very softest of yarns, especially for the babies. I have been knitting and crocheting for a 30+ years and have sold my designs in children's boutiques, six on line shops and an art gallery. All items are machine wash, gently cycle, tumble dry low or lay flat to dry, unless otherwise indicated. Who wants to hand wash things!! Also, all items are created in a smoke and pet free zone.
