"One day I saw Carin had made a sleeve to keep her coffee pot warm with the most clever and delightful owl on it! I was instantly smitten and asked if she could adapt the pattern for a set of fingerless gloves. Not only did she do so beautifully, she kept a dialogue going about color and size, so I was sure to get exactly what I wanted! I love them, and show them off at every opportunity!" - Ariel, St. Paul, MN.

"Carin is an AWESOME knitter! I went into my custom order not expecting things to run smoothly, but Carin proved me wrong and kept business professional, calculated, and timely! I sent her a drawing and a photograph to help her conceptualize my vision. While many things can go wrong when doing something like that, Carin managed to knit me exactly what I had envisioned! She even made some awesome suggestions that really improved the fit and function of my garment. Best of all...she keeps her agreed upon due date and communicates very very well! She is super responsive to emails. I highly recommend Carin for any custom order." - Eleanore, Salt Lake City, UT.

"I'm here to report that Carin's Bespoke Handknits is a miracle-worker. I gave her a beloved sweater with the elbows totally blown out and totally ragged cuffs, and Carin managed to restore it brilliantly. Thanks!" - Robin, Minneapolis, MN.
