Items will be worked in the order that I receive the deposit, measurements, and specifications.

I will return any portion of unused yarn greater than 1 yard to you along with the work when I am done unless you don’t want it back (or I might contact you and ask you if I can buy it from you, if it is particularly yummy!) The same add on prices as above apply.

Customs Pricing

I do offer custom orders for wool longies, soakers, shorties, skirties, and soaker sacks. Knitting these has become a real passion of mine. I think it’s mostly because they look so stinkin’ cute on babies!

Please contact me at tailenddesigns@yahoo.com to request a custom order.

I will be offering in-stock items beginning in January on Hyena Cart. I will post the link here when I stock.

I am a licensed Sheepy Time Knitter. You can see their website at http://www.sheepytimeknits.com/ to see more of what I’m able to make for you.

I had previously decided to make all one kind of NB diapers for this new little one. However, I've got pattern/project ADD it seems, so I was wanting to experiment a little. In the process, I've discovered how I will make all soaker layers from now on. :) I made some larges for DD to test 'em out.

Here's a Hippy Hippy Snap AI2:
