One of our most requested animals - the penguin!!!! Meet Pablo and Charlie! Pablo, our small penguin with his very own hat, is about 6.5 inches tall, while Charlie is 8 inches tall. But do remember that each Penguin is uniquely handknit and may vary slightly in size.
All our products are Hand knit with love by a mama who also plants rice in the rice terraces (take a look at the P20 bill to see what they look like).
Knitting Expedition was begun as a way to provide supplementary income for the women of Ifugao to maintain the rice terraces. Instead of leaving the region to find better paying jobs, they are supported by the income from the sales of the products. This allows them to stay and tend to the rice terraces that are not only an awe-inspiring legacy of their town but also of the Philippines and which has provided sustenance for generations of their families. The brand Knitting Expedition also signifies the journey of founders, Candy and Aueeie, as knitters and the distance that the hand-knit products have to travel to make it to your homes.
