Are you looking for someone to knit or crochet you an item - or to sew up something you have knitted?  Would you like to be paid to knit, crochet or sew up?  Find each other here.


Knitters wanted

If you are looking for an item to be made, please contact the people on this list directly.  You need to agree:

  • a timescale and deadlines for the work
  • the pattern and yarn to be used
  • the fee (be clear whether this is with or without the yarn cost)
  • the method and time of payment
  • anything else important to you (such as are you allergic to pet hair - the knitter may have pets?)
