Nancie Wiseman opened Nancie Knits in April, 1987 in Sacramento, California. The first store was small and shared space with a quilt shop. As the two businesses grew, they separated and Nancie moved her store to Riverside Boulevard in 1989. The new store grew and prospered until a problem with the lease forced the store's closure in March, 1999.

The Nancie Knits "empire" grew to be a very well known producer of Knitting Videos and DVD's Books and Patterns. Nancie has now written 9 books on Knitting and crochet. They are all available here, and the only place you can get them AUTOGRAPHED TOO!

While some of Nancie's knitting designs are self-published, others have been published by Prism and Trendsetter yarns and magazines including Knitter's, Interweave Knits and Cast On. Nancie's work has also appeared in articles in Knit 'N Style and Piecework magazines and she wrote a pattern for Martha Stewart Living magazine for their Knitting 101 article that was published in the fall of 1998.
