Meet the stars who love to knit

Debra Messing

We can't always do what we like, but spare a thought for Debra Messing, of TV's 'Will & Grace', who loves to knit but unfortunately suffers from an allergy to... wool.

Knitting expert to the stars Edith Eig, who taught Messing to knit and helps her find non-wool yarn, says, 'She's allergic to anything that's wool. She can't even touch wool and if she wears it she breaks out in hives.' Edith also reveals that Debra's first knit was a blue sweater for her dog.
