Years ago, Elizabeth Newton learned what fun it was to knit with friends. Over time she found that knitting was immensely creative, absorbing and satisfying. A serendipitous conversation resulted in her spending more than seven years working as an assistant to Penny Straker. Elizabeth strives to create designs that are fun to knit and wear. She envisions her knitwear in all places, from country walks to the streets of New York City. She lives in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, surrounded by farms near the sea.
