Collection: H Burris - Hand Knit Items

Born and raised in Alexandria Bay, my mom taught me to knit at age 14 (more than 55 years ago).  I left town at age 18 and returned in 2006 to work as the Emergency Department Director, Medical Director and Skilled Nursing Home Director at River Hospital.  I retired in 2014 and ramped up my second career as a knitter and weaver.

I am an incurable student and book and yarn collector and have taken innumerable weaving and knitting classes over the years. I love everything about my chosen crafts:  structures, color, texture, fibers, process, design…

When I knit, I usually start with a yarn I love and search for a pattern that fits the yarn. Or I am entranced by a pattern and search for a yarn that does it justice.  I have been known to “tink” (that’s knit backwards) an entire project more than once because the result didn’t meet my expectations.  I make what gives me joy and all of the proceeds go to River Hospital.

When I am working at the store I love talking with our customers about the wonderful creations here at Bay House, the Thousand Islands attractions and lore or whatever comes up. If they happen to speak fiberese, so much the better.
