One of my favorite cities is NYC. It’s 24 hours. It’s multi-faceted, multi-talented. It’s insane, proper, crazy, fickle. It’s the most fun one could have... or overwhelming. Depends how you feel.
If you’ve ever seen Sex & the City, you already know that fashion is huge in NYC. Mainstream as well as individual. You can walk down one street in NYC and see a bunch of people wearing the same Burberry scarf and you can see a bunch of people wearing God only knows… all of it can be inspiring as Jerra from HipKnotz knows.
Jerra lives in NYC and is constantly carrying her sketchbook around. She also works in the creative design industry so she is surrounded by artists all day. She has been a crafty person since childhood, yet it was only 2 years ago when she picked up a hook to try crocheting.
And boy am I glad she did, because I have an amazing pair of fingerless gloves thanks to her incredible skill. The stitching is flawless. I thought they were so well done, I asked if she sold them in high end stores. Actually Jerra mostly sells her products on etsy, but she has been fortunate to sell some items in specialty childrens boutiques.
Jerra clearly has the talent and promise to one day take her products to the next retail level. For now, she’s come to terms with the fact that she’s got more ideas in her head than she has time to make happen. Though I’m positive everything will come forth in due time.
Jerra herself says “ I have big plans in-store for hipknotz which includes building a brand that covers all of the bases, something for him, her, the baby and the home, all of course with some infused “hip” factor.
Hip indeed… in fact HipKnotz.
Be it custom-made or something already in her shop, check out HipKnotz on etsy as you shop for your loved ones this holiday season.
In the meantime, how would one of you like to win a pair of fingerless gloves like the one pictured. I have a fabulous pair for myself!
