Drool Worthy

Yarn is so delicious, I seriously have an addiction. But when I cannot afford to feed my addiction, I love doing YYMN customs, its like driving a porche without having to pay the payment! HA!
Today I got some yummy yarn in the mail that I cannot wait to knit!
Its Dear Husband's "Aloha Kane" on Organic Gaia Merino Bulky! Its so so so so so soft and squishy, and I cannot wait to stick it on my needles!!
Kathlin you have one lucky boy that will be gettin overalls from this yarn! :)

Custom Order for Sara D.

Just cast off on these beauties last night! Love the Colorway!!!! Its Western Sky Knits "Alouette" on MMR. I am so happy that I purchased the Jungle Gym pattern, this is such a cute pattern!! I definately reccomend it to anyone who has young children!
These are a size 12mos for a good friends daughter! I hope she loves them!!!

Teeny Tiny Woolies

This morning I finished off the first pair of woolies for my Grand Opening! They are so tiny and precious!
Knit with Claudia Hand painted yarn. I used a modified version of the "Jungle Gym" pattern, to make them small enough to fit a newborn baby for Coming home from the hospital. I remember when Addison was born, I brought a newborn out fit, preemie outfit, and 0-3mos sized outfit and the only one that fit her was the preemie.. and she was an average sized 7lb baby.
So this set was made with that in mind. I did a 5.5 inseam as well so they are true newborn sized :)

Here's a sneak peek!

too legit to quit!

More exciting news about Shizz Knitz!! I just purchased my sellers license for a few popular patterns!!!
First I purchased some awesome patterns from Comfort Wool Co!! I bought the Jungle Gym Overalls and the Spring time in Hollis Sweater pattern!! I have knit both of these before for custom orders, but now I can advertise and sell as many as I want in my store!!! Super legit!!!!

Here's one of the STIH sweaters Ive knit!

And of course, one of my favorite knits, The Jungle Gym skirtall, which can also just be overalls!!

I looooooove this pattern!!!

I plan to also become licensed for her Hootie Who Romper, and Owlie Cocoon and Hat in the near future, as I love owl cables and definately want to have the ability to sell those in my store!!

I also bought the Bottomstoppers Foggy Mountain Coveralls pattern.

(not knit by me, but an example of what they can look like!) SQUEEE I cant wait to make some!

I plan on in the near future, purchasing some SMSS patterns, because I love their rompers and would love to sell them in my store.

and I DEFINATELY WANT THE RIDING HOOD SWEATER PATTERN!!!

exciting things are in the works

Im so excited to be opening my hyena cart! I am shooting for OCT 1st! There are so many yummy ideas in the works as well, I have some wonderful artists and sewin mamas who will be joining me in my grand opening. We will be doing many collabs, and ive decided on doing it Newborn themed!! Since I will  be a newbie to the Hyena Cart world of knitters, I figured what better than to do Newborn stuff!!

Today im going to be casting on some newborn woolies, and im stoaked. I recently discovered my local yarn shop Artistic Fibers in downtown Burlington. I almost had an orgasm walking into this place! HA! But I also discovered a gorgeous collection of hand painted wools that they carry there!! Claudia Hand painted yarns. I will be casting on their "Hawaii" colorway to my needles today! Its gorgeous in person, and super soft and yummy!

DELICIOUS RIGHT?!!!

I also picked up her circus dancer colorway!! This will also be turned into something newborn for my shop :)

Stay tuned for what I create! And dont forget to share my facebook, the more likes... the better!

Why Im the Shizz.Knitz

HeY hEY HeY!

First of all I would like to thank you for visiting my blog!!

My name is Korin. Im a happily married mother of three. I work full time in the hospitality industry, and have recently decided to try my hand at starting my own knitting business.
I thoroughly enjoy making hand knitted quality items for children and would love to share my talent with the world.
I started knitting 4 years ago after discovering that if I knit my son things myself.. it saves me a hell of alot of money! I fell in love with hand knitted items through cloth diapering my son, and using knitted pants and soakers as cloth diaper covers.
I also.. have a weakness for yummy yarn! Its like candy to me. So there came my obsession with knitting.
Throughout the past 4 years I have dedicated alot of my free time to teaching myself new skills through books, videos and practice practice practice. Ive knitting countless items for my family members, friends, and have been doing custom items for people for the past few years. So now, Id like to offer my one of a kind knitted items to whomever would like to purchase them!

How I got the name for my business

Well, for those of who you know me... you can pretty much see the title and say "thats soooooooo you" LOL!
But for those of you who do not know me.... Im a very outgoing, humorous, and goofy person. Growing up, my friends and I would have all sorts of funny sayings, lingo, names for eachother, and just crazy words we would come up with. Among them, was the term "thats the shiznit!"  I remember thinking I was so cool when I said that! We also said things like "thats tits" and "thats the bomb diggity" but those sayings were not nearly as fitting!
So there you have it.. Shizz.Knitz was born!
'

So There you have it

Please do share the word with friends and family alike. Soon I will be opening a store on Etsy and Hyenacart! :)
