Catherine Zeta-Jones is her latest convert!
Edith Eig has nurtured her business, La Knitterie Parisienne, into the world's most successful and recognizable knitting-yarn boutique of its kind. Her passion for and dedication to her art has earned her many titles, chief among them "Hollywood's knitting guru," a nickname bestowed on her by People magazine (as written by BeansTalk's managing editor/publisher), Entertainment Tonight and social columnist Liz Smith.
Born in Paris, France, and knitting since the age of 5, Eig has been instrumental in nurturing knitting's thriving renaissance, putting what was once considered a lost art back into public consciousness, where it has become a phenomenally popular "new" art form / hobby on a local, national and international level. More than just a small-business owner, Eig practices a sort of global thinking that has defined her as an entrepreneur, savvy businesswoman, fashion designer, stylist, therapist, friend and knitting instructor to the stars. For more than 25 years, she has been renowned as an expert in the field. She is highly admired by her clients, who rely on her expertise, knowledge, intuitive sense of style, interpretation of yarns, patience and uncompromising level of personal attention. http://www.laknitterieparisienne.com/ Watch Knit One Purl Two Hosted by Edith Eig on the DIY Network and HGTV
