There's still time to get your gifts in time for Christmas or Hanukkah! Our store is stocked full of wonderful, hand crafted items for you to choose from. Thank you for supporting your mom and pop businesses this holiday season!

SweetKnits is pleased to offer SweetKnits Separates - a fun, versatile, and interchangeable line for your sweet little one! A Separates set begins with a pair of pants (or shorts) with a coordinating skirty: a variegated skirty with solid colored pants, or vice versa. Accessories (such as hats, vests, sweaters, or slippers) can be added to the base set. Add a second pair of pants or skirt in a different color - the possibilities are endless! SK Separates are designed to be mixed and matched, and used individually or together. See additional pictures by clicking the link under the main photo, or looking at the SK Separates page on our website. Pants or shorts are knit from the picky pants pattern with an elastic waistband and many cuff options available. Skirty is derived from the flirty skirty pattern and knit with a ribbed drawstring waist, allowing it to be used alone (or over shorts) in the warmer months, or over the pants in cooler weather. Buttons can be added to the pants, if desired, so the skirty can be attachable (though this is not necessary - our skirty stays in place perfectly with just the drawstring).

These small Picky Pants were knit by Kristin in a bright rainbow colourway, dyed on Blackberry Ridge Merino wool. They feature a drawstring waist, short rows across the backside (to accomodate diaper bulk), and casual rolled leg edges.

Little Gems has several amazing pieces for you, but this particular piece is simply drool worthy.

This gorgeous necklace will make you feel like royalty when you wear it! Featuring eco-conscious gems: Quartz, Aquamarine, and Amethyst with a rare Phantom Amethyst pendant and Sterling Silver.

Finally! We got our act together and have a real stocking full of new, hand dyed pads to choose from. We apologize for the scanty offerings over the past couple weeks. This week, we have 6" minis, 8" maxis, 9" minis and 11" maxis in the Japanese theme 'Kuroi. All made with luxurious bamboo velour tops. Some of these pads are higher priced because of the special dye technique that was used, but you will also find many at our regular prices. All of these pads have an organic bamboo fleece core rather than the usual hemp fleece. But the performance is the same! We've put together a couple sets to make it super simple for you to start or build your stash. Each set also comes with a coordinating wet bag by E-A-Poo's.

Save money on indivudual pricing when purchasing our sets!
Our next scheduled stockings are July 4th & 11th at Go With The Flo.

YINIA is sponsoring the Great Cloth Diaper Hunt again, and it's getting close to Mother's Day! See our announcements section below for details...

by Little Gems brings you a new Mothering Rocks design. Eco-friendly Unakite, clear Quartz, Sterling Silver findings and family pendant featuring a couple holding a baby, and strung on an adjustable cotton cord. Symbolizing the joy and love found when you hold your new baby for the first time!
I've brought this pair of vibrant earrings back by popular demand, in one of my personal favorite color combinations of purple and green. Sweet and sassy, these earrings won't leave your ears all summer!
Made from faceted Peridot, Amethyst, and Sterling Silver.

by SweetKnits This listing is for a totally custom SK Separates set - you pick all! Knit pieces pictured are an example set knit for a wonderful customer from Three Irish Girls' Lindon Merino and Cascade wool yarns. Yarn can be custom ordered in your choice of colors! Perhaps you have a yarn in your own stash already that you'd like to incorporate in the set -- no problem! We can find a coordinating yarn to go with it!

This listing is good for either one skirt and up to two pairs of pants, or one pair of pants and up to two skirts.
SweetKnits Separates are offered exclusively at YINIA.

This week, Go With The Flo is holding a Seconds Sale! We will be clearing out a few months worth of seconds on the 18th! Regardless of the pad size, you can grab these at $5 each! You can find these under the Seconds Sale category for this weekend only.
The functionality and performance of each pad is not affected in any way: stitching and snaps are secure and top quality fabrics are used. Flaws to expect are visually noticeable only: the pad is not symmetrical (most common flaw), serging is imperfect, pen marks visible along an edge or near a snap, selvage visible, pad is "ruffled" along the edge, or the pad is a 1/2" to 1" longer than the finished length should be.
On a personal note, Robin and Anna are currently on their respective babymoons. Anna will have a new stock of pads ready for you in mid May. We will also offer a couple custom slots at that time. Thank you for your continued business! We appreciate you!

HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY to SWEETKNITS! Kristin and Meridith have done it again with mouth-droppingly gorgeous knits. This adorable Holiday Skirty was knit by Kristin, using beautiful hand-dyed Elenya Alpaca wool, dyed in a Christmasy red colour by Three Irish Girls. Elenya Alpaca is incredibly soft and luxurious.

Meridith of SweetKnits provides the centerpiece to this pirate's set with a pair of embroidered picky pants. Size medium picky pants were knit from a nice sturdy woolenspun from Knitting Notions in a "Brilliant Blue" color - the color of the ocean! On this canvas, Meridith has embroidered a pirate scene. The left leg features a pirate ship sailing the high seas (perhaps the map on Lilia Designs' Booty Bag will lead to some buried treasure!), and the right leg features a deserted island complete with palm tree and an X to mark the spot!
Go With the Flo adds to this special collection with a fitted diaper suitable for any young pirate!

Lilia Designs brings your little ship mate's shirt to the Pirate ensemble. Made with a double knit jersey from Baby Lulu, this long sleeve shirt is super soft and comfy. The shoulder seams are reinforced, and the hems are double-stitched. Shirt is sized at a 2T but has plenty of room for growth in the sleeve and body length.
Lilia Designs also brings you the Booty Bag! A perfectly sized, over-the-shoulder tote for carrying all his pirate plunder. A treasure map applique decorates the front, and the same fabric makes a trim around the top edge of the tote. Anna chose a sturdy, brushed denim for the Booty Bag and reinforced the strap to withstand boyish wear and tear.
Finally, from Mother Sunshine, is a playsilk for imaginative play! This 30" "pirate red" playsilk can be used as a cap, headscarf, flag, extra booty sack -- the only limit is your child's imagination!

Lilia Designs is offering 1 Bamboo Dreams Custom Slot for girls. You build your daughter's dream ensemble in her favorite color, and I make it happen! Rich bamboo velour is perfect for holiday parties or photo sessions, warm enough for winter days and comfortable enough to wear all day and night. (Color shown in this past custom is "Pomegranate")

A special Honu diaper set by Lilia Designs is also available this week. Entitled 'Forest Friends', I made use of an adorable, 100% cotton knit fabric I found with baby raccoon playing with his squirrel friend in their woodland home. The inside of the Honu Fitted diaper is organic bamboo velour. Complimenting the Honu Fitted is your choice of one or both Honu Shell covers fashioned from Heather Ross prints.
