I'm already on the look out for shops to visit when I head to NY next month and right now Ohio Knitting Mills in Brooklyn ranks pretty high on my list. The shop carries sweaters which were made at the Cleveland, OH factory from 1947-1974. Luckily for us, the company saved samples from each line they produced, offering us a wonderful (but limited) supply of of these wild patterned beauties. (Via Designer's Library)

this place is on the top of my list for when i'm in new york next...which will be in about a month for me too. i used to live a small walk from smith st. and i miss it terribly.
ps-what is your professional bakground? are you an interior designer? i am thinking of starting a career change when i get to denver, and if you don't mind i'd love to talk with you at some point...
Hi Risa,
Yes, we should definitely meet up when you come to town. I have a pretty varied background, everything from exhibit design to working for a wallpaper company. Right now I'm working on some of my own pattern designs (although I still have the day job too).
Send me an email when you get to Denver - oh, and are you going to NY for ICFF? I'm heading to check it out this year.
i'm actually going to new york for my brother's wedding. there are so many wonderful new york events i miss! i'll be back again in july to back up my stuff for the move to denver but i wish i would be there in june for the affordable art fair and the renegade crafts fair. at least denver is much closer than quito.
i'll definitely email you once i get to town. thank you!!!
