Can I make a matching sweater?? Heck yes I can haha I could not resist this project! I am using my chart from the Kodiak Kisses pattern and adding it onto @tincanknits flax sweater pattern. You can just see the top of the mama bear staring to knit up 😍 You can check my notes on my Ravelry project if you want to try and knit it up yourself 😉
Mustard is my jam 💛 We are super excited to be putting together a wholesale order for @albertasownmarket in Canmore. You will be able to find our Skyfall and Blyss beanie as well as our Basic slouches 😍
*sorry FB, go check out IG to get in on this giveaway*
How do you wear your KNK hat? Post a pic of yourself wearing one of our hats with the tag #mycozyhappyhead and from Sept to Feb 2019 and we will be drawing from those posts one a month for someone to win a free hat of their choosing! Got one of our hats from 5yrs ago? Great!! We still love seeing that you have them 😘... Just make sure your account is a public one or we will not see it. P.S. who else is excited for us to hit 10k soon?.... we will be giving away this stunning @allisonbarnesyarn as well as this mug from @cupofpretty and a bunch of other awesomeness!!

All the color work hats and fluffy pompoms has got me all heart eyed 😍 My hubby was volen-told as camera man today as it was too cloudy to film inside with my phone holder. So don’t mind the shake and the random fly that goes by 😜🤣🤣
Pattern: Skyfall by Knits N Knacks Music: September by Not The King👑
Ok, really now... who doesn’t love a good tweed?? Our Loghan hats come in 3 different tweed colors; brown, black and cream! ❤️❤️❤️
Were you guys a fan of our Meraki hats last year?? Well there is only a few left in our shop.....once they are gone their gone! AND they are 20% off 😘
A Blyss beanie off my needles and a Skyfall goes on 😍 And for all the knitters who prefer to buy patterns on Etsy, these two are now listed.....keep in mind they are half the price on Ravelry though 😘
I spy two makers knitting up our Loghan Hat pattern that @cindy.williams.designs created 💕 Tap the photo to see who 😘 . . . .... . #loghanhat #garterstitch #slouchhats #loveknitting #handknit #winterwear #shopnow #shophandmade #loveit #madeincanada #iamcanadian #madeinalberta #etsymadeincanada #etsyedmonton #makersarethebomb #yeg #ilovehats #ladieswear #handmadecanada #ourmakerlife #knitterspride #makerstrong #makersgonnamake #knkgear #knithat #knitallthehats #hyggehome

When you send the customer a finished pic and they ask for a matching sweater.... get ready for some major cuteness ❤️❤️❤️
Black and grey... two colors that are always requested 😉 I have been asked a couple times for the pattern for our Basic Slouch and the truth is... I find it so simple I don’t feel like the pattern would be worth selling 😜 I do however have a trick to make the brim so it doesn’t roll up.... I dunno, is that worth typing it up???
One baby Kodiak Kisses done and another on my needles 💕
Check out what @hookedonserendipity has been knitting up!! ❤️❤️❤️ Monkey stripes is a free pattern you can download off our website 😘
You guys are blowing me away with all the projects knit up on Ravelry for my Kodiak Kisses pattern ❤️❤️❤️ I LOVE seeing them all so much!!
Check out this beautiful Moosey Slouchy BeaMade knit up from our pattern for her sons birthday!!
My finished sweater!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 If you swipe through you can see me wearing the sweater along with some closer up detailed shots 😘 This was a free pattern I found on Ravelry called Riverside. I picked it for the lower neck line in the front. All my notes and details are on my Ravelry project page ( https://www.ravelry.com/projects/atheerae /riverside ). The yarn was dyed by @seaturtlefiberarts
Full vid of how I sew on my pompoms....Don’t mind my sons fart noises in the middle 🤦♀️
Did you know we also have a couple crochet patterns 😘 Although knitting is my jam, one of my crafty goals last year was to design a crochet hat and thus the Lacey Lucille was born 💙

I like big poms & I can not lie 🎶 Do you like big poms too?? 😍 Well we have got you covered! Both our Twist Top and Skyfall beanies have the option to come with one GIANT 5.5” pompom! It’s literally bigger than my hand 😁

ultra skill in this artistic team!!! So sweet tah boot! 100% recommend this business!♡♡♡♡
Wonderful work! (I own 2 pairs of the boot cuffs and LOVE them) Also a pleasure to deal with =] I will definitely be taking my business here again in the future!
Talk about handcrafted items love how it seems rare to find custom handmade items instead of everything being mass produced where quality and care for the item could be lost ...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

My son got a toque for Christmas from his auntie and loves it! It's so cute and soft!!
My friends have said nothing but good things! So I talked to them about making my daughter a cute hate with bear ears! They asked many questions regarding my order, to make sure it was exactly what I wanted! Very excited to see the finished product :D
And I love the pictures of the products they have created already :) great work!!! ❤️
Loved the pattern - What's More Canadian? Ear warmers. Written clearly & large graphs to follow. Thanks for adding empty ones to allow for more creativity. I also have mastered the provisional cast on w/ the crochet hook. Thanks so much - look forward to more designs :)
Love love my new product! I am so impressed with the way my order was handled. Very easy to request, pay and receive! They did exactly what they said and my item is well made in a very timely fashion! Recommend!+++
Knitting and Crocheting take a lot of patience & these ladies are always busy! So Kudos to them for all that they do for their fans/customers! :D
Knits N Knacks are so amazing! Two years in a row now they have donated to our clubs silent auctions. Its so awesome to see small local businesses giving back to the community. The products that they've made us are so beautiful, and perfect, you would never be able to find anything like it stores. Support home made, support local, support Knits N Knacks!
I'm hooked! Not only good quality but made with love!
I was lucky enough to win a Moosey Slouchy in a give away! It arrived yesterday and it is AMAZING! I wore it around the house for a while in the +33 weather lol I can't wait to sport it this winter!
I ordered 3 custom hats and my daughters all love them! They wear them everyday and have even tried wearing them to bed!
I mean- I've thrown out some pretty ridiculous requests to these ladies over the years- from custom dog sweaters to fish hats to game of thrones sweaters- and they have always come through with a smile and a reasonable price! I will never go anywhere else for knit goods- They are always quick to respond, awesome with their turn around time and a pleasure to deal with. I wish I could give 10 stars!
I love the hats I have picked up and look forward to purchasing more amazing products
I just received my custom fingerless owl gloves and they are AMAZING ! They fit perfectly and they are so soft and cozy that I almost want it to snow so I can wear them NOW (but not, cuz I hate shoveling snow LOL I'll settle for colder weather instead ;) )
You can see and feel the care and love that went into making them !
Highly recommend !!!
Haven't had a chance to order anything but love seeing what you create
From making the product to shipping, Athena is very quick & efficient.Not to mention, she's also incredibly talented.The colour is amazing and so comfortable to wear. I love it!
Excellent products and great service!! Thank you!!
