Cadence took a finishing class from Shari many years ago and is proud to share this great resource with you. See a story about why you can trust Shari with your heirloom, we've had great successes with knitters sending us their precious work. Here is Shari talking about why she loves this work. The minimum charge is $45 and includes an hour of work on your project, with each additional hour being $40.And here's what Kathy said about her project (steeking ) "I absolutely love my sweater!! The finishing work is impeccable. Thank you so much for taking it on…and for the care that you took with it. I’ll keep knitting, but you’ve set a high bar on finishing!" We are happy to give you a rough estimate when you complete the Fuzzy Finishing Services Application. Please wait for a reply before shipping your items to Fuzzy Goat and we recommend insuring your items when you do ship. There is an additional shipping charge of at least $12 to return your item to you, and will include insurance. Here are the Fuzzy Finishings that can be done for you: Sewing on buttons Button bands Collars/hoods 3 needle bind-offs Assembling blanket squares Knit and crochet borders Embroidery Seaming for anything - blankets, sweaters etc. Kitchener Stitch Dontwannas* Aintgonnas* Weaving in ends *Dontwannas/ Aintgonnas are what Shari calls nearly finished projects that you are just “done with” or aspects of the knitted project that aren’t knitting (seaming, buttons, etc). Maybe you just want to knit and are happy to pay someone else to do the Not-knitting part of the project. If you don’t have the yarn needed, Shari can use the copious scraps in her stash for a minimal charge or perhaps Fuzzy Goat can find matching yarn for you. Turn around time from when Fuzzy Goat receives the item is three weeks. During the holiday time, we cannot guarantee Christmas delivery for items received at the shop past December 5th (not including potential postal delays) Shari Hill came to Florida State University for art school way-back-when and never left. She has shaped her family’s multi-generational skill of making something from nothing into a multi-crafted life of yarn, paint and a deep love for color play and the linen stitch. Crochet is her first language, learned so young she doesn’t remember. Her advice as an experienced self-taught knitter, however, is “save yourself the headache and take a class at Fuzzy Goat!” So bring in your project, no matter how rowdy, and let her wrangle it into its finished form!
