We’re selling 504 pieces of our Fall Line for just $150 each. Buy Now to help us to bring our knitting to New Orleans! Your purchase will help fund the setup of our first knitting machine in New Orleans (Area Code 504). Yay! Most knitwear Americans buy is currently produced outside of the USA, but we’ll soon be changing that, one sweater at a time. I’m looking forward to hiring locally, passing on my knitting skills to the community, and helping other knitwear designers produce locally. Our new knitting machine will also give me the ability to experiment creatively and actually produce one unique sweater at a time if I want. (What a joy!) This machine is an impressive piece of German technology. I will be going to Germany soon (or maybe to New York) to learn more of its magic. I mean, you sketch your designs, and you choose your colors and your yarns of different textures and sizes, then you press a button, and this monster pops out a fabulous sweater? We’ll see….

Kickstarter was a success! Looks like we’ll be getting a knitting machine. So, will New Orleans be the knitwear capital of the world? It could happen. And you’re in on the ground floor. I’ll keep you posted. This Kickstarter experience has shown me that anything is possible when you go with your passions and share them with the world. Many thanks again to my Kickstarter donors for enthusiastically supporting us on this grand adventure. We’ll soon be hiring and training locals in the startup of a new industry in New Orleans, one that I hope our colorful city will someday be known for: knitwear! Oh, and Kickstarter friends: I’ll soon be sending out all your sweaters, design sketches, and other rewards….

I’ve always believed knitting should be local, but easier said than done to bring the manufacturing of my knitwear designs to New Orleans from Asia! That said, now is the time to bring the jobs home. All I need is a knitting machine – a huge, crazy expensive, monstrously complicated machine usually found in countries on the other side of the planet. Check out our Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the downpayment on one of these mysterious machines, so LiaMolly designs can one day be “made in New Orleans”!
