Announcement

Last updated on Feb 25, 2025

Welcome to my shop! Thank you for visiting. I have such a passion for creating beautiful, colorful knits that will keep you warm and hopefully make you smile. I wouldn't be able to do this if it wasn't for my wonderful customers.

I offer mostly hats and mittens created in the knitting style called "stranded colorwork" which allows me to knit intricate designs into the fabric. This is the home of the original "Matilda Mitts," which are fingerless mittens with a cheeky hen that I designed after one of my chickens named Matilda. There are also a selection of knitting patterns available. I have also begun to sell some of the horse fly bonnets I make.

Please visit other areas of my shop to learn more about the me, the knits, and shop policies.

Beautifully written out pattern with all the expected notes and details, as comprehensive and professional as you could like, and nice photography.

Hi, I'm Caryn, the maker behind RDP Knits. I reside in a small town in the southern tier of NYS with my husband and daughter. I was inspired to knit when she was born. After my great aunt showed me a few stitches the rest was history, as they say.
