One day while spending an afternoon knitting together, a mother and her two daughters thought it would be great to share their love of knitting and creating beautiful things with other people. Among booties, scarves, blankets and more, November.20 was born.

November.20 is the result of the collaborative efforts of Maria Valera, Lupe Alonso and Alex Valera. The name November.20 holds many meanings for them, not only is it the date of the greatest Mexican revolution ever, it is also Universal Children's Day, but more importantly it is the name of the neighborhood where Maria grew up in Mexico City.

With over 50 combined years of experience, November.20 features one-of-a-kind knitted baby clothes, blankets, funky scarves, purses, hats, felt toys and "Changitos", which are a wacky array of sock monkeys complete with their very own knitted accessories. We also work with designer fabrics to create simple, yet modern, throw pillows.

Here are some images from last year's DIY Trunkshow, held in Chicago:
