Announcement

Last updated on May 14, 2026

The refresh and rebrand will be bringing new social media handles this week and custom dyed silks have been ordered for the next round of hand-knotted necklaces. Also stay tuned for some fun new jewelry boxes!

I have an autoimmune disorder that has inflamed the nerve in my arm. It’s made creating a little slower than usual, so I’ll be rolling out new designs every few days while I heal.

Domestic shipping is now free and will be upgraded to UPS due to repeated delays by the Post Office's Chicago hub. Priority, which should take 3 days, has been averaging 3 weeks instead. The switch to UPS will help ensure that your packages arrive in a timely manner. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Such beautiful design, color choices and knitting— and big enough for my large head. A true art piece. …and warm! Comfortable! Highly recommend!

I bought this toque to go with mittens I already had and am thrilled with it. I love that it’s atypical and doesn’t look mass produced. It fits well and is very comfortable for long uses. This is the second hat I had from this seller and I can say she absolutely wants her customers to be happy about their purchases.

Love it! As Katie said, it can fit a larger head which is wonderful for me (so many handknit/ crafted pieces don’t). Communication very quick and friendly. Shipped fast. Matter of fact, I just placed another order!

Handcrafted every step of the way

Welcome to Funky By Design!

After having a brick & mortar store for several years, I decided to take the show on the road with market events. Downsizing to focus on Etsy and artisan fairs has been the ideal work/life balance.

I believe that quality should be attainable at any price point and since I’m hands-on, everything you see here is made by me.
