cotton t shirt

    hi

    I bought two gorgeous light cotton knitted t shirts in a woolen mill ten years ago and I've never seen anything like them again. They had a lovely low round neck. Does anyone know if it would be possible to get someone who can knit to copy them if I found the right wool (fine cotton wool with a bit of a curl in it). I still have one of them but it looks old looking now. They were so comfortable to wear in work and they went with everything. secondly is there a way of finding knitters that can do this in meath or louth?

    Clearly I haven't a clue about knitting and would really appreciate your help.

    H.

    I'd be happy to have a look at it and let you know if I could copy it, but I'm in Dublin. Could you put up a photo of it just to give me an idea of how complicated it is. I've done this before, been knitting since I was a child and make up my own patterns sometimes.

    The first thing I'd do is go to the alchemy section of Etsy.com.

    You can put in an request for the item you want made, include photographs or samples if you have them, let everyone know your location and the amount you are willing to pay and then let the bids come in!

    Normally you'll find that after two days you'll have a nice number of offers from people to do the work, then you can drop by their individual Etsy shops to view their products and feedback.

    When you find someone you want to work with the system will lead you through confirming the bid. Most sellers request half up front before taking on custom work, they will also provide you with photographs during the process so you can make adjustments at any time.

    Definitely give them a go :)

    Thanks a mill Mature Student. I'll do that when I get a chance.
