Store Message
Thanks everyone for your support of our custom knits. We look forward to 2025 being a great year here at The Knit Tree. As Sharon Nani, owner, prepares for retirement, she is training her son, Ken to knit the items in the online store, plus the ones that were removed. Ken is going to take over The Knit Tree and its equipment so we can continue to offer these unique custom knits to our customers. Ken is not new to machine knitting - he earned his high school and college spending money by filling orders back in the 1990's, and has continued to help in maintaining the equipment. Ken is creative in his own rights with his "Custom Wood and Land Works" business where he falls the timber, prepares the lumber and creates unique wood items and projects: custom storage sheds, fences, decks ect. So we may add new catagories to this web site when the time arrives. SO LOOK FORWARD TO ADDING SOME OFF THE CAMO KNITS BACK INTO THE ONLINE STORE THIS YEAR.
Native American Reproduction
Designed and Handloomed by Sharon Nani ~ a Non Native and owner of The Knit Tree
The Knit Tree is honored to get requests from the different Native American Tribes to put their special basketry designs on our knit products. The request for a knit cap came from Natalie Ball, Modoc / Klamath Tribes. Natalie sent in a picture of her basket along with a drawing of how she saw the Crow's Knee design colored in both a 3 color and a 4 color version, slight design modifications were made to fit on the cap style and sent to her for approval. She selected the colors from our available acrylic color chart and requested the extra pom pon on the top.
There is a limitation of no more than four colors within the same graphic row. Three and Four color designs are also knit in a basket weave jacquard fabric. We are pleased to offer the Klamath / Modoc design interpreted here and thank Natalie Ball for her special request.
