5 out of 5 starsI saw a sloth that Laura had made and asked if she had ever made and octopus. She told me that she hadn't but she would give it a try - and this amazing little thing is what she came up with! What a talent!

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely LOVE my sloths. ThirdSister was nice enough to make two sloths for me! They were done faster than anticipated and arrived to my house even faster! Highly recommend. :)

A third sister with a yarn obsession and penchant for adorable things
Third Sister started as a twinkle in my eye as I began obsessively hoarding interesting vintage pieces and all the raw fibre and yarn I could get my hands on. It matured after an admittedly ambitious (read: ludicrous) attempt to needle felt all the boutonnieres for the groomsmen in my wedding. I later found out that needle felting is far more enjoyable when you're making sloths with silly expressions or mice with adorable rotund bellies. Over the years, the vintage aspect of the shop has fallen away and I have been able to focus on the very time-consuming task of hand knitting unique and traditional colourwork pieces and developing my own knitting patterns and wearable pieces.
It's sometimes difficult to make it all work. I have a small studio space in the house that I share with my artist/cartoonist/graphic designer husband and our cat, and my day job at a local library can be exhausting. But there's something really special about holding a new creation in my hands and shipping it off to find a new happy home elsewhere in the world.
And, just so you know, the boutonnieres turned out beautifully.
Third Sister is a proud member of the Winnipeg Etsy Street Team (WEST).
