Alice Giunta has been helping knitters for 30 years at Larchmont's The Silver Canvas with personalized service and expert advice. The shop has a wide selection of yarns ranging from acrylic baby and afghan yarns to fancy exotic yarns for scarfs and trims and there is always a selection of yarns at 50 percent off.
The Silver Canvas has a large selection of buttons for every project, sold individually ranging in price from a quarter to $15.
Alice creates new patterns and adjust existing ones to fit perfectly; she advises on yarn choices and also finishes projects, mends sweaters and gives lessons.
