About Us

Hi, thank you for visiting our website! Da Kine? Melissa lived in Maui when she was first married and her oldest son was actually born there. They have a local slang that becomes pretty important to understand if you are going to live and work on the island. Da Kine is a Hawaiian slang word for whatchamacallit, thingybob, pretty much anything that you don’t have a word for, becomes “oh you know, da kine book, street, relative, store…” etc. So Da Kine Knits was born, because sometimes we don’t have words to express what we mean. :D |

About Melissa:
I am a SAHM to my son, Zackary (6 years old) and daughter, Katarina (4 years) and Addyson Joy (born August 09). I have been happily married to my husband, Ben (who is also our techie guru) for 7 years. We live in the Silicon Valley in Northern California. We home school our kids, so my days are always filled with craziness and fun! My grandmother taught me how to knit years before but all I ever made was scarves and blankets. But I started knitting longies in order to make some affordable wool items for my older daughter, which then turned into a hobby I really enjoy. I decided to start knitting for others because there is only so many I can do for my little one before she has way too many. I opened DaKine Knits in December of 2008 and have happily been knitting away for many wonderful mama’s. It has been such a joy to get to know and work with so many different people, and has really given me a creative outlet. Feel free to email me any questions or comments to mamabear@dakineknits.com |

About Nicole:
I’m a mostly sahm to my 3 beautiful kids. My husband is a full time youth pastor, and we spend a lot of time working together at our church with the high school group, young adult group, and kids. When we aren’t working at the church we love relaxing together as a family, and hanging out with the Simpson family who live just 4 blocks away. I am mama to Kyla who is 6, and a drama filled, spirited, too big for her own britches little girl. Makenna who is 3, pixie of a little girl. And our newest addition to the family Levi, born in September '09 weighing a whopping 10lb 6oz, who is the sweetest most content, chunker of a boy, that any mama could ask for.

About Beth:
I am a SAHM, I have 5 children and 6 grandchildren. Melissa (yep, same Melissa as above) is grown and married with 3 children. Adam is also grown and married with 3 children (Landen 4, Bella 1 and Aubrey (Jan 2011)). Andrew is 21 and still lives at home, he works full time and is going to school to become a machinist. He works for TCB-which is the business that Melissa's FIL started and still owns and operates. Bethany is 15 and in 9th grade and Bekka is 12 and in 7th grade. They both are home schooled and in 4-H. On our farm we have about 25 dairy goats (soon to be more in the spring!), 1 baby calf, 29 chickens, 3 dogs, 2 cats and a turtle. We have 5 acres of land about 10 minutes from Melissa and Nicole. I have been a knitter for a long time, I learned when I was a young girl. I love to knit for pleasure and relaxation. I like to knit blankets, and have made them for all of my grandchildren, they call them their “loves”. I also crochet ponytails. I am learning more things and look forward to sharing them with you.
