The Knitting Mission AKA Denise Knits AKA Denise Strothers A bona fide crook, takes your money and RUNS Bowie Maryland

 This individual has been on ETSY in multiple different names, I purchased under DenisesKnits. She has also been under ddStrothers, and now is currently open under TheKnittingMission. They take your full payment up front on a custom sweater. Initial prompt emails for measurements, etc then follow up with how far along the sweater is, should ship soon, etc. Then as soon as the "clock runs out" - the date when you can no longer file recourse with your credit card company and/or Etsy, everything goes silent, no emails or phone calls are returned like they have dropped off the face of the planet. I complained further to Etsy, in a short time the store/individual was no longer a member and $465 had been STOLEN from me!!! This was over a year ago (initial purchase Sept 16, 2014), and now I see they have opened a new store, The Knitting Mission. BE WARNED!!! This women is a con artist and a crook, under the guise of a religious cloak. She has a master of divinity, bible studies, church deacon and what not to cover her STEALING. I have been very active on Etsy for years and have bought items from overseas too and this is the only seller I have experienced who has ever been deceitful and committed a crime...
