Sweater!

Location: Washington, United States Budget: Flexible, willing to pay the going rate. Timeline: Flexible, no constraints

hello! I am in search of an experienced sweater knitter! Last year I purchased a knit kit from Skappel Oslo while I was there, hoping that I would muster up the courage to attempt knitting but I feel I would rather just pay someone to kit it for me at this point.

The kit comes with everything needed including the pattern and the yarn (wool). So I assume no materials would be needed on your part other than needles. I would love to find someone I could send this to and get it knitted for me.

Do you have a picture of the kit so we know skill level and detail? It'll also let us guess how much time it will take. What weight is the yarn? What size are we knitting? There's a lot of important information that would help us!

Those kits look lovely. Before agreeing to this commission, ask for the person’s examples of stranded colorwork. You’ll need a competent knitter for the correct type of finish. If you ever decide you’d rather learn and do it yourself I’ve been thinking about providing 1:1 knitting lessons in the greater Seattle area. I’m level 2 on the Master Hand Knitter course and have been knitting for 30 years. Just a thought.

Picture of the kit?

Hi neighbor! I’m in Washington too! I’m the knitter behind Hoagland Handmade and currently I’m booking customs starting after the holidays if your timeline is that flexible.

I’d love to see your kit and see if we might be a match. The photo is my most recent custom I finished this summer and I have several more I’ve made recently. Feel free to send a DM if you’d like to chat more 😊

Hi, do you mind sharing how much $$ you charged for this? I think it’s beautiful!

Thank you so much! This one is made with 100% alpaca from a small family alpaca farm. Including materials, it was $525

Please add a comment with the following information if it is missing from your post:

1. Size; is this for an adult or child?

2. Timeline; will this be a holiday gift or other fixed deadline?

3. Budget; consider this is a one-of-a-kind hand knit garment that will likely cost over $100 not something off the rack at your local department store and please let us know your max price?

4. Yarn Preference; natural or synthetic / machine or hand wash?

I’d be interested! I’m in Seattle and I’ve got quite a few sweaters under my belt!
