Tapped as "Hollywood's knitting guru", Edith Eig, owner of La Knitterie Parisienne, has established her business into one of the world's most successful and recognizable knitting yarn stores of its kind. Born in Paris, France, Edith began knitting at the age of five. She came to the United States at the age of 19, and shortly after married and settled in Parsippany, N.J.

In 1996 they relocated to California, moving the store with them to Studio City and renaming it La Knitterie Parisienne.
