KNITTING TIPS, STORIES, PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM JUDY GRAHAM, HOLLYWOOD KNITTER TO THE STARS.

 

 

 

 

I've been a hand knitter for over 50 years.  You too can learn to knit.

On this web-site I'll give you easy  to follow knitting instructions, tell you stories about the celebrities I've knitted for and share with you everything I've learned about knitting.

Click on the tabs for how to get started,  all about yarns and accessories, easy patterns for beginning knitters, knitting instructions and free video demonstrations on basic stitches, casting on, to how to knit, how to purl, how to knit ribbing,  how to bind off, how to decrease and increase, how to add color and more.   You'll find more tips, knitting lessons, recommended books, my favorite links, information on charity knitting.

Even if you've been here before, please keep coming back to see what's new.  It could be a new pattern, instructions for a new stitch, a new video, a new celebrity story or more tips.  Be sure to check my blog, my Video Blog on Youtube, my Instructional Knitting Youtube channel, like me on my knitting Facebook page and follow me on Twitter @judytopaz.

Since 1977 my company, TOPAZ KNITWEAR, has been making knits for films and TV Shows.  Stars such as Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, Angelina Jolie, Diane Keaton,  Whoopi Goldberg, Freddy Kruger, Kevin Costner and Underdog, to name a few, have all worn TOPAZ knits in their movies, TV Shows, or concerts. Most of those knits were made on a knitting machine in Hollywood, but hand knitting has always been in my life. 

Have fun reading the celebrity stories and have fun knitting.
