Margareta Horn Designs

n her own words, "a trip filled with joy and excitement!" It is our joy to say that our little cottage industry is celebrating our twentieth year in business.

It happened when we moved to Memphis, TN from Sweden. Thrilled about our new life, I got the idea to finally realize my long dream to switch gear and let my hobby become my work.

In third grade we were taught to knit our gloves, so knitting was my thing. Out of a natural looking strawberry design the seed was planted to grow the rest of my garden inspired designs: apple, cherry, orange, kiwi, eggplant and so on to the number one best seller - the sweet pea.

Our kitchen in Memphis became the heart of my business. Soon we became popular enough to look for knitters outside of Tennessee. Today, we have more than 2000 styles and about 10 full-time knitters, 'leaf backers', 'pea painters', and 'button sewers' in my ever growing cottage industry.
