I’ve been knitting for as long as I can remember. My mother taught me and I’ve been told that I would sit in a carriage at age 2 with wooden knitting needles, twirling the yarn around. People actually thought that I was knitting. I made a sweater for my cousin when I was about 6 years old. It’s a passion, and I could really do this 24 hours a day.

Testimonials

"I have purchased several of the baby sweater and hat sets. The quality is outstanding, much better than baby department stores. I also feel it is a wonderful keepsake of the baby’s’ early years. I purchase a teddy bear to give as part of the gift so when the child outgrows the outfit, it can then be placed on the teddy bear.” - K.A., Las Vegas, NV

“Ellin-Ruth's designs are unique, one of a kind. I have followed her across the country for the past seven years. I acquire a new sweater yearly for my daughter, waiting patiently and always happily surprised with our newest treasure. Each sweater is beautifully hand made, wears wonderfully and is a keepsake for my daughters’ future hope chest.

I have given many of these creations as gifts and find the recipients truly moved. I am presently having a blanket designed by Ellin-Ruth for my daughters first ‘big girl bed’. I am sure, without a doubt, it will be just one more treasure to be preserved.” - A.F., Queens, N.Y.
