019 The Art & Craft of Handknits with Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton Feb 09, 2016

Show notes

A true multi-crafter she is proficient at embroidery, macramé and crochet but finally settled on handknitting at the age of 22. It was in New York where she developed her talent during the early 80s and started her business. There she designed for the knitting magazines and a private clientele as well as sold her designs to better boutiques in Manhattan. The high point of her time in NY was a handknit collection under her own label that was sold to select boutiques in 20 states from Florida to Alaska. The move over the Atlantic to Mariefred, Sweden in 1986 would give her the peace and harmony to raise a family and develop her business and artistic creativity even further. Cornelia divides her time between Mariefred, Sweden and Atlanta, designing and attending to her yarn line, Heaven’s Hand.
