BLOCKING Blocking is a key finishing a knit/crochet lace, garments & accessories, and not everyone has blocking tools or the space. Blocking softens the knitted/crochet fabric, cleans and conditions; sets the seams in a garment or accessory; transforms knitted lace to something spectacular!

FINISHING We all suffer from Startitis: starting a project and starting another without completing the last…. Sometimes these nagging projects get in our way mentally and physically (bags and bags of projects jammed in the closet sound familiar?). Or, you might be on a tight deadline and just don’t have enough time to finish a project. We can help, we can finish your projects big or small!

Cost: starting at $200.00 (this price based on a garment that is about 1/2 way complete)
Price includes any seaming, weaving in ends and blocking
All quotes will be given and agreed prior to the commencement of work.

Turn-around-time: average 2-3 weeks (subject to change, rush orders may cost a bit more)

COMMISSION Do you love knitwear, appreciate hand-made one-of-a-kind crafts? Then, we would love to make you something extraordinary! Knitting for a commission is not cheap. It is shockingly more expensive than to purchase from a store, but there is something special about hand-made knitwear you just can’t buy off the rack. All my patterns I design I can make. If you have a specific idea in your head, let’s talk.

Cost: based on the project, yarn choice and size (average $0.40 per yard)
I can usually work with budgets
Quotes are given before work or yarn is ordered
Free consultations
1/2 deposit is required before work is started, full payment upon delivery of finished garment/accessory/toy
Turn-around-time: 3-5 weeks depending on the project (rush projects may cost a bit more)
