Have you found “the one”? You know, the minute you see them you love everything they do? I have, and their name is
Tin Can Knits. (I’m talking knitting designers here, not love! Focus, people, focus!)
Some people might find it odd that as a designer I’m pointing you to
someone else. But Emily Wessel and Alexa Ludeman of Tin Can Knits are
just that special. I knew, last year when I first saw their designs,
that this dynamic duo has “It” - star potential. (See my previous posts about them:
interview,
Pacific Knits, and
Low Tide cardigan.)

I instantly fall in love with each of their designs. They have
4 books out, each filled with amazing sweaters, shawls, hats, mitts, socks… Everything!
And these designers do it right. Each of their garments is available
in the widest range of sizes: the patterns are sized from baby to
grandma, feature sensible seamless construction, and are written in
their clear and concise style.

Emily Wessel, a Canadian now living in Scotland has released her
Handmade in the UK
book. This new book is filled with travel sketches, lace knits, and
exquisite locally-produced yarns - it is an aesthetic response to the
beauty and pleasure she has experienced in her home in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
Get what you want - buy your favourite design individually, get a
great deal on the ebook, or you can pre-order a special signed print
copy (limited quantity), and they will email you your complimentary
ebook so you can get started knitting right away!

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored “commercial”. I
started test knitting for TCK last year and fell in love with them. I
really believe these ladies deserve to have all the success in the
world. And I’m thrilled that they’re Canadian. If I ever recommend a
product or design, it’s because I personally enjoy it. My opinions
aren’t for sale.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
