My friend Erika Flory is a knitting virtuoso.

She knits for pleasure. As for business she is 
Knitwear Designer for her own KidKnits© label 
for over 20+ years of the 45+ years she has 
been knitting.

Erika is also the youngest daughter of my old

dear friend and mentor, Jane Flory.

(see my 11/25/2008 post)

What began as a hobby grew into a business.

Starting with her hand knit sweaters and hats

for babies and toddlers which Erika sold at

crafts shows, KidKnits© has grown to include

its own website http://www.kidknits.biz where

kits and patterns of Erika's marvelous designs

are available.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, these small socks

For knitters on your holiday lists consider Erika Flory's books, 

Head To Toe Knits with 23 designs to knit for babies. Or maybe 

A Baker's Dozen, a collection of that number of lovely hats for babies.

And now Erika Flory's gorgeous knitwear is available 

at KidKnits as patterns and kits. Took me hours to 

choose several samples to post here, they are so

delightful.

Along with running her business and with her Architect

Erika leads a group of volunteers teaching knitting and

crochet to the blind and vision impaired.
