For beautiful knitwear
"Kismet" - What is meant to be will find a way...
This explanation of ‘kismet” captures my business journey to date and reflects how Kismet & Co has evolved from a casual hobby into the business it is today.
It began with me, at home with a newborn, knitting in my down time. It grew to me knitting for friends and then friends of friends. From a hobby into a small side hustle…a small side hustle into a small business with two helpers when I couldn’t keep up any more…and now, a small business into a bigger small business with the help of an extended team of knitters in Peru.
We truly are, as my logo says, “knitted together”.

Gifts for healthy eaters…
You deserve a nourishing start - when you wake up in the morning, you’re searching for a cereal that leaves you energised and ready to embrace your day. So you open the packet and pour a HUGE bowl but still you don’t feel satisfied. What’s worse is that an hour later you’re running on empty again.
A healthy breakfast cereal to start every day - So many of my customers tell me the same thing “Cereals are so sweet and full of air”. They never fill us up! You’re exactly right. Most supermarket cereals are too sweet. That’s why I created this all-natural low sugar range of breakfast cereals. If you’ve been searching for a healthy, low sugar cereal to start your day. That gives you a nutritious boost and supports your health and well-being goals.

For crafty chicks…
If you are a knitter, crocheter, or fibre artist, we want you to have the best quality yarn, tools, and accessories to work with. We believe that if you are investing your time, money, soul (and let's be honest, sometimes some curse words) into a hand-made item, that the process should be as enjoyable as the outcome, which is why we don't carry anything that we wouldn't personally use. And you can choose it all from the comfort of your couch and it will arrive lickety split, with second-to-none service and advice!

For readers…
PAUSE is about that moment in time, those stolen snippets, the deliberate and the unintentional, the lifechanging thoughts, the mundane and the defining.
It's about breaking through the rough patches, inner growth, celebration, moving on.
PAUSE creates a space to hold onto what matters.
The prose, poetry and short stories on these pages represents the chaos of life: the sadness and heartbreak, the beauty and the joy.
PAUSE is a collection of writing from women in Aotearoa whose words offer the world an escape, a breath of motivation, a thoughtful questioning of our priorities.
