Debi Leibovitz
I started my first business, hand-knit children’s sweaters, when people were willing to spend $200 - $300+ for a handmade item.
After a long corporate career at large media companies, in 2019 it was time to follow my first love, and I opened my own design business, repertoire design. In addition to custom knitwear, I make clay buttons, shawl pins, stitch markers and yarn bowls that I wholesale to local yarn shops. My designs are carried by more than 95 yarn/fabric shops throughout New England and the West Coast, as well as The Fuller Craft Museum.
This year I’ve expanded my business to teach a workshop, “Playing With Clay”. Partnering with Artisans Asylum, as well as local yarn shops, I’ll be sharing the how-to of polymer clay and how you can create things that complement your handmade designs.
This year is also a first for me to write a pattern. By popular demand, I’ve created three versions of my “Pillow Talk” pillow sham, featuring all the yarn needed to create one of three designs, as well as my handmade coordinated buttons. These will be available at The Fuller Craft Museum, Russells Fiber Show on March 9 and a variety of local yarn shops.
Lexington, MA
For over thirty years, we’ve held and nurtured a deep-seated love for knitting, inspired by memories of visiting Auntie Joanie’s amazing shop,What’s Needling You, which she owned inFort Collins, Colorado. Opening a shop of our own has been a dream for many years, and we’re thrilled to now see our dream come true! We find joy in knitting—in learning, in finding new yarn that inspires us, in completing a project, and in building relationships with other knitters. Too, our journey has often been filled with laughter, most recently thanks to our playful dogs who can't resist the lure of yarn. Their favorite game? A spirited contest to see who can snatch the yarn first when no one’s looking. Tucker, the more agile of the two, often wins and is known for dashing around the house with my skein and work in progress, leaving a trail of colorful yarn in his wake! This spirit inspired the name of our shop:
Knit Tuck & Purl.
