about us

✨Let’s expand the fiber community through sparkle, connection, and creativity—one stitch at a time! Together, we can bling joy and inspire each other with every stitch ✨

THE BLING BAR IS OPEN

Amanda Kaffka’s journey into knitting started with arbutus twigs her mother Nancy Walker made for her at age six, and she hasn’t put her needles down since! She’s been spotted knitting on road trips, cafés, beaches, and just about everywhere in between.

With a fashion design degree from Ryerson University, Amanda has a deep passion for knitwear design, sparkle, and uniquely creative knit/crochet kits.

✨ The Crafty Jackalope: A Hub for All Things Sparkle! ✨
From glitter, sequins, and bling, to truly one-of-a-kind projects, Amanda infuses every design with a touch of magic. Whether it's knitbling or makbling, her creations never shy away from a little (or a lot) of sequin magic!
