      Yes, New Orleans is such a wonderful place for artist entrepreneurs. Please come! I can't wait to be able to teach and train other designers & knitters and help with their production. It's very difficult for Designers without tools. The more tools, the more we can all do... I can't believe the response so far!

Connected as Seema Sudan (221 friends)

I've been a knitter since I was 9. I was lucky to find what I love to do at such a young age. I moved on to a knitting machine at 12 then to Parsons and studied fashion design, and became a knitwear designer. For over 20 years, I've designed for many well known fashion companies, perfecting my skills...always a mix of the entrepreneur & artist...I'm still knit obsessed.
