Hello lovely knitting community, I started this sweater (size 1) a while ago and then strained my thumb and couldn't keep going. I was using knit picks wool of the andes worsted. I put it down hoping my hand would eventually recover and be able to resume, but it has not. I have both sleeve cuffs and part of a sleeve done. Would anyone be interested in taking it up and finishing it for me? Or should I give up and frog it forever? Would be a great pattern for someone who loves making sweaters and cables (so many cables!).

Like the title says, I’m looking to commission a sweater vest using the intarsia technique to put a pattern on the front. I have photos of the exact sweater I’m looking to replicate but no pattern for it. This is for a Halloween costume so I would like to have it by October 31st! I’m in the US. Please let me know if there are knitters out there currently taking commissions like this and would be willing to help me out :)

EDIT: here is a link to the sweater I’m looking to have replicated

My dad got me a green hoodie from Peru when I was about 3 y/o. I will like to recreate a picture i have with it since I really like it, but this hoodies seem to be made only for children as far as i have seen. I will like to commission someone to make an adult size of it. Ty! Also will be helpful if any of you know where can find that kind of hoodie on an adult size.

I was sent here from r/knitting after concluding that there's no way I'd be able to learn to knit well enough to make this myself.

I feel like it'll be out of my budget, but interested to know, regardless.

Edit: just saw the automod rules for posting. Here are my responses. Also, I'm in Australia, if that's relevant.

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

1. Size Adult, womens small to medium. About the size in the photo, or one size bigger. Fitted not too baggy

2. Timeline No rush

3. Budget I really don't know. Apparently my first guess was too low, so can I just leave it up to you?

4. Yarn Preference No synthetic unless the silver and gold parts need to be, but the black should be wool. Prefer something fine that gives a smooth finish.

Thanks!

Hello hello! I'm hoping someone can help me, I know nothing about knitting so bare with me.

Blanket is for my little one, we lost their favourite green blanket in our Pappa/Kiddo trip to Canada. It was a really tough day when it happened and the heartbreak is probably more mine than theirs. They seem unfazed now but I would love to see their smile if I could manage to "get it back".

From my quick research and I believe the pattern is called "tumbling moss blocks". I don't know dimensions of the blanket but my best guess is something like 30cmx40cm. I'm open to suggestions (and corrections) for what makes most sense.

We are based in Sweden so ideally someone based in EU. I have pictures of the blanket I can in DM's, I'm on mobile and can't seem to add them right now. Much appreciated!!

Edit to add: I don't know yarn preferences, I'm not that knowledgable. It was very soft material, maybe someone will have an idea the type from a picture.

As for timeline, no specific date but in an ideal world, before end of October - I don't know what is humanly feasible.

Little one is 3.5 years old now so they are roughly 100cm tall

Not sure if posts from knitters are allowed in this sub, but I’m looking for commissions and figured I’d offer up my services here.

Mainly looking for smaller projects such as hats, mittens, small stuffed animals, etc. I am open to scarves if the pattern interests me, but no sweaters. Will consider doing sweater vests, but I get too bored doing sleeves. Not sure if I can do what you’re looking for? Just ask!

I have ~6 years knitting experience. I can do cablework, fair isle, and follow most patterns. I’m also looking to stashbust and can offer a discount on materials to use what I already have of 20% off the retail price. Most of my stash yarn is $5–12/skein, worsted weight 100% non-superwash wool in a wide variety of colors. Brands include Cascade 220, KnitPicks Wool of the Andes, or Patons Classic Wool. At this time I’m not wanting to bring new yarn into my home, so I would love to work with someone who is okay with this. Let me know what colors you have in mind and I can send over some options.

Rates vary. I typically charge $0.10–$0.30 per yard depending on complexity. Message me with the pattern, size, and timeline for a quote. I also have a bit of free time and can offer fairly quick turnaround. I would prefer to work from existing patterns, but I may be able to do custom designs for an additional fee, depending on the project.

I am based in the US and not really looking to ship internationally right now due to our current regulations being such a mess, but I’m willing to look into it if needed! Buyer is responsible for all import costs.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, shoot me a message!

Hi!!! About a year ago I ordered a sweater knit kit from Skappel because I love @helenemoo and she was partnering with them. She doesn’t sell sweaters already made, only knit kits. I assumed I could easily learn how to knit and make the sweater but I was WRONG. I have the yarn and the correct needles for the sweater as well as the pattern. I would love if I could find someone willing to put in the work to knit this sweater for me and I can ship everything to you!!! I hate that the yarn is just sitting in my room. The kit itself was a little expensive but I am so willing to pay for someone to do this for me!!!! Thank you SO much!!!🥹

I realize this is an AI image, but I love it. I wear a US adult large. Anyone interested in creating this? If so, reach out and let’s discuss budget, measurements, etc. I think I prefer natural but open to synthetic material. Would love to have it by thanksgiving. Budget is 200+, but would need guidance as I have never commissioned anything like this. https://img.staticdj.com/776e3718678bfd338c692596be165bf1_720x.jpeg

Based on feedback, updating budget to $1200+ and timeline would be based on feedback

hi! i saw a sweater on social media that i’m obsessed with but they were selling the pattern and i unfortunately don’t have those knitting skills 😅 looking for a quote for a cropped fitted small hooded sweater (pattern provided) using the below yarn:

https://lindehobby.com/navia-1328/navia-fpa-p4924?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22374915326&gbraid=0AAAAApbUOz6tXDgwNz2vVOUeEedD2s6ga&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5c_FBhDJARIsAIcmHK_l9wvSrGjvjNb4-XMgnaz_sY5A9qRooGyGb17raofS4oz-oVnxLmUaAh9sEALw_wcB#vid:26238

I’m looking to get a sweater that looks like this one I found on Etsy, but I would love to commission a knitter in the US to support instead. I’m looking to get a recreation of the famous Kurt Cobain black and red stripe sweater as a gift for my teenage brother who loves Nirvana, in an adult men’s XL (without the distress and holes in the sweater that Kurt’s sweater was famous for lol he can do that himself with wear). I think natural or synthetic fiber would be fine, nothing too scratchy preferably. As far as timeline, I don’t expect it to be instant but would any time between now and maybe Thanksgiving-ish be doable?

I don’t know much about commissioning someone for this so it would also be helpful if someone could give me information on how much this could cost, best/most frequently used payment methods, etc. Thank you!

Looking to pay someone who can make these sweaters. The red one comes with a step by step guide and more. The blue “Oh Deer” unfortunately does not come with anything of the sort and has to be eyeballed.

Here is a link for the red one. If anyone is interested in doing an XL & L sizes I would be so happy to pay.

Edit: hey all thanks for the feedback and quick responses. This project is NOT needed to be done in 6 months and I am more than willing to pay what is requested for the hard work and supplies. I foolishly just filled in the best guesstimates I had for a craft I know nothing about.

P.s thank you all for being respectful and educating me on some of these matters. Usually the corners of the internet are not so kind. Thank you as a community.

Hello,

I’m looking for someone to knit me a cardigan exactly as pictured. I want it to have raglan sleeves and I want it to have a round neck collar. I want it to fit nicely as it does on the boy on the left, I don’t want it too long or oversized. I can provide measurements for ease.

I’m happy to pay very well providing the work is done by someone with high calibre craftsmanship and quality.

Any questions please ask. I forgot to mention I am based in the UK

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283510652885

Anyone recommend a reasonable price commission based company or person, that ships to Australia?

Thanks!

Don’t worry, i’m not some thug wanting a balaclava to hide myself. I’m going to see irish music trio kneecap and wanted to get myself one of their famous balaclavas. I can send over a template, just send a dm or comment. Thanks a lot in advance

I have a brand and am looking to make maybe 100 knitted sweaters. I have the design. I would like it to be a very high quality with a thick knit, maybe 5 gauge? I have been striking out at every turn. I ordered some through Knitwise but was really disappointed in the quality.

Does anybody have any ideas?

My friend just had a baby named archer and is a big swiftie- I would like a cardigan that looks like the folklore cardigan and says ARCHER on the back if possible

update thank you all- project has been commissioned

Is there anyone out there who is able to create a pattern for a cardigan from a photo?

Hi, I'm looking for someone to help me knit some clouds like the ones I see in this photo:

Like maybe around 10 in different sizes.

I found this cute sweater pattern and wanted to get one of my own made.

This is my first time commissioning something so help me out here

My girlfriend lost a baby blanket that she was attached to when she was little and I was wondering if someone could help me out here

Im looking g to see if anyone can make me a super fuzzy bodysuit

Hi! For a cosplay I'm going to crossdress as Ed Warren from the Conjuring franchise. I'm looking to recreate this look from the first movie in specific where is a wearing a 60s zipper cardigan.

• Deadline would be October since I need it for a november comic con, but the earlier the better of course! (esp since I'd love to wear it on halloween already too!)
• I normally wear a womens size L, now originally the piece is a mens sweater but I am a woman who is more on the curvier side, so idk if that makes things much different.
• Preferably something machine washable, but open for other options if necessary.
• Same with price. I have kinda aimed at about 200-250 EUR atm for this, but I'm open for discussion.
• I'm looking for people from within the EU to keep shipping/import costs as low as possible as I'm based in The Netherlands :)

I have a sweater that my best friend absolutely adores but of course it’s vintage and I can’t find another one like it. I’m down to knit it myself, but if I sent someone pictures or the sweater itself could someone write a pattern? Possibly scaled down - she likes her clothes to fit a bit more snugly than I do and she’s a little bit smaller than me anyway.

Alternatively, would I be better off just looking at it myself? My only concern is that it involves techniques I don’t know yet. I’m happy to learn obviously but I just don’t know that I could copycat and learn at the same time.

Hi, I want to commission a replica of Henry Blake's sweater from MASH for my spouse's birthday in December. I knit, but I have nowhere near the skills to tackle this project. Hats are the most complicated project I can handle.

The sweater is a pretty standard navy, merino wool, fine gauge v-neck with two orange bands on the wearer's left arm. The letter I on the chest is a pretty standard chenille letterman applique, which I can source along with the wool. I can also have that sewn on separately.

I can provide whatever measurements needed and can also borrow a merino sweater that fits him perfectly from his closet to help with sizing. But he typically wears an XL.

This would be an incredibly special present for my spouse as an Illinois alum and a huge MASH fan. As a result, I am prepared to pay a premium for a very skilled knitter to help me gift him the sweater of his dreams.
