My Bio

9/11/2021 (I'm leaving the previous message up for context.)


Well it's been almost 2 months, but the move is finished (for now...there will be another one soon) and my machine is set up and...it's time! COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!

www.playswithstring.com


After a few years hiatus I am accepting commissions again. I have already responded to some of you by email. If you haven't heard from me and are still interested in a commission, please send me another email. I'm sorry, but I am not accepting any more Halloween commissions this year. I am already booked.


Thank you for your patience. I'm really excited to get back in the saddle again. :)


7/14/2021 Oh my goodness. Was that a loooong nap. Greetings, visitors. Thank you for looking at my sweaters. And if you inquired about having one made for you, you've probably noticed I've dropped off the face of the planet for some time. I had entered a stage in parenting that didn't really allow me to be productive. My day time was devoted to others...but to my dismay I realized my body was crashing earlier and earlier. I was no longer able to stay awake at night. Throughout all my active years, I prided myself on never missing a deadline, but I knew my body would not allow me to continue the streak at that rate. Rather than fail to deliver on a job, I decided to stop accepting new orders completely. I apologize to everyone who emailed me since 2015 hoping I was still in business. I just could not accept any work in good conscience. But things change and one life phase moves on to the next. More of my time is becoming mine again and I am considering coming out of exile. I'm even thinking about adding custom cross stitch patterns in the mix. But between an upcoming move and making sure my machine still works, I am not ready to throw open the doors for knitting commissions just yet. When I am, this will be one of the first places I go to announce it. Thank you for your support. Hopefully we'll be able to work together again soon. - PWS

:thumb345992741: Pillows start at $35 plus shipping for simple horizontal stripe patterns and small color palette (up to 5). $2.50 for each additional color. $5 per side if vertical striping is desired for effect. $10 per side if designs other than striping are desired (i.e. a MLP cutie mark pillow). Most designs fall under this category anyway.  The Haruhi pillow pictured above is $35. :thumb345994082: This "Tiger and Bunny" pillow is more interesting.  Each side is inspired by a different character. Between the two sides this pillow uses 7 colors (Kotestu's hat has a more cream colored white compared to his shirt).  In addition to t

Hello, I sent you an email a few weeks ago on your website about a sweater commission, did you by chance get it?  Hope you have a nice holiday season!
I would like to commission a Marcelline cat sweatshirt please.
I want to give a BIG shout out to PlayswithString for knitting a fantastic sweater for my Mabel cosplay for Anime Boston. I commissioned her under short notice and she still followed through with such professionalism which resulted in such a high quality, extremely accurate shooting star sweater for my Mabel cosplay. I was given SO much high praise for my cosplay and it’s all thanks to PlayswithString, who worked fast and followed up after to make sure that I was satisfied. I will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to cosplay as Mabel or just have a beautiful piece of knitted clothing!

To check out the AMAZING sweater she knitted for me check out:
Thank you for the llama! :D 
Have a great day/night. :)
