This store's innovative approach to an age-old pastime has made knits the toast of Hollywood.

Named after owner/designer Suss Cousins, Suss Design transforms every misconception you have about the art of knitting. No longer a grandmother's hobby for a quiet evening by the fire, Cousins has made knitting trendy. Julia Roberts, Jada Pinkett Smith, Halle Berry, Uma Thurman and Rosanna Arquette have been spotted in this crafty paradise, and even J. Lo ordered a pair of Cousins' legwarmers for a music video. Cousins makes sweater dresses, toggle coats and cashmere scarves. For those inspired to try their own hand at it, the store offers classes as well as DIY kits. Just imagine granny's surprise when you knit something for her.
