Custom Knit and Crochet items Just for You!
Men, Women, Children and Pets!
Anything from catnip toys and dog sweaters through 100% cotton washcloths, Baby clothes, stuffed bears and other creatures, hobby horses, hanging dish towels like Grandma used to have, adult sweaters, scarves, hats, leg & arm warmers, mittens, Quirky items that would please a true 'geek'. I work with Wool and wool blends, cotton, silk bamboo, and acrylics. From stylish to vintage to specialty, I can tie a string into knots Just For You.

For your convenience as a matter of perspective for Simbi or trade:
A hat can take 1 to 6 hours depending on style.
A simple, bulky scarf can take an hour - a complex scarf can take up to 55 hours (sock yarn, enterlac styling, 7 feet long for example)
A small crochet Teddy can take 2 hours, a knitted large (14") teddy can take 10 hours.
Sweaters are typically in a 25-65 hour range.

(Plus the cost of the materials to create the items)

Please do not hesitate to reach out and ask questions! Send me pictures with ideas of something you'd like to have special Just For You!

About Sandy Atkinson

I am a Kidney Transplant recipient 2014. In the years leading up to kidney failure, I taught myself to knit so that I would still be productive when the day came that I would be too sick to work. ... I take great joy in expanding my skillset and creating new items that I have never made before. I write many of my own patterns and tend to modify existing designs to fit the personality of the person who is receiving the item. It brings me joy to knit and crochet anything that someone will love.show more
