Connie Powers knitting
CONNIE POWERS KNITS is, basically, me, Connie Powers.

​Among all the different jobs I've held, places I've lived, there has always been some type of art or craft in my life.  This would include painting and drawing, beading, leatherwork, spinning and knitting, bookbinding, and sewing, to name a few.

I now live on a small ranch in the rural highlands of central Mexico, and I've come back to knitting.  My creations reflect my desire for fine quality and my love of natural materials.  I knit solely with very high quality natural fiber yarns spun primarily in Peru and Italy.  I like to let the beautiful nature of the fiber shine through, and my design aesthetic is minimal, pared-down, modern.  I believe that simplicity equals elegance.  I want my work to be beautiful but also practical; stylish while still being comfortable.

                                                                                 “Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.”    Coco Chanel

All pieces are knit entirely by hand.  I'm happy I can employ a couple of local Mexican women, excellent knitters, for some work, but all pieces are finished by me.

To read what some of my wonderful customers, many of whom have returned for more, have to say, you can go here.
