Corinne Niessner

Corinne Niessner taught herself to knit as a child, and never stopped. After decades of knitting for herself and family, something changed when she adopted her first dog--she had to knit for her. Knitting dog sweaters continued with the dogs that followed, until she got to a point where she imagined every dog she met in something hand knitted.

Corinne maintains an on line business, Lucky Penny Hand Made, where she sells custom dog sweaters. She exhibits her work at craft fairs and art shows.

Corinne's background includes theatrical costume design and photo styling. She lives in Chicago with her dog Piccolo, who provides inspiration for future designs.
