r/KnitRequest is a subreddit with 9k members. The most common kinds of discussions are solution requests and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses knit, commission, sweater, request, and pattern.
This is a place to commission a knitter to make a one-of-a-kind item just for you!
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - Please do not post a request if you are unwilling/unable to offer at least minimum wage for labour. For an average adult sweater this will be 40 hours minimum, plus materials and shipping. Expect handmade garments to be significantly more expensive than off the rack.
