Hand-knitThe workroom
Twig & Tat is one pair of hands and a worktable in Burlington. Nothing is made in batches: a piece is cast on when its card is written, and it stays on the needles until it's finished properly.
If you'd like something that isn't in the drawer yet, that's the most interesting kind of request — bring the idea and it can be worked out together.
Choose a card from the catalog, or describe something that isn't there yet.
Yarn, colour and size, talked through before anything is cast on.
Worked in the order it was requested, at a pace that suits the stitch.
Finished, folded, and handed over with its card and a short note on care.
Sizing & custom requests
Fit is the easy part. Send the age, the date, and the colours you're leaning toward, and you'll get a straight answer on size and proportion before anything is cast on — no guessing at a baby's measurements from across the room.
Custom requests are welcome on every card in the catalog, and on pieces that aren't in the drawer yet.
