Guess who made the paper? Fashion-knit, thats who!
"When Jeanine Johnson couldn't find the perfect sweater to go with her new pants, she decided she would just make it. After literally flying all around the world, her search was finally over. Johnson, a flight attendant, was in Chicago when she saw the owner of a yarn store knitting with exactly the yarn she wanted. She thought of creating a sweater to match her new pants using the unique furry yarn she discovered. "I was able to make the perfect sweater I could not find," says Johnson. "I'll never forget how liberating it was to make what I could not buy." Though a Napa resident, Johnson decided to open her store in Walnut Creek because it's where she likes to shop for clothes. Today, sweaters and scarves adorn Johnson's Newell Avenue store, Fash-ion-knit, where a dazzling array of yarn in different colors greets visitors."
