Izzy dolls on their way!!

Hi Everyone,

A big "thank you" to everyone who knit either the Izzy Dolls or face cloths, or who donated toothbrushes and bars of soap. They are all very much appreciated, and will be going to very good use. There were 170 Izzy dolls handed in, and I am sorry I didn’t count the knitted face cloths, but there was a big basket full of them. Such great colours!!

 If you have knit some Izzy dolls, and just didn’t get them handed in on time, I do have someone else wanting some to take to an orphanage in Hatti at the end of June. So if anyone feels like knitting a few more for her, that would be wonderful!

Again, many thanks to everyone....you will be making a lot of children very happy!

Happy Knitting

New Canadian Shawl Pins

 Hello everyone,

I love coming across new Canadian companies to showcase at the Purple Sock,
so when I found these stunning shawl pins, I thought they were perfect to
share with you.

These are hand crafted from sterling silver, bronze and copper with a
beautiful assortment of stones, beads, crystals and pearls to complement
each of the metals. I just love how some of them are hammered, some are
smooth and shiny, and some have this fabulous twisted wire which really adds
texture and interest.

We all spend so much time and energy on our knitting, spinning and weaving,
and I really feel that these pins are worthy of our work! So, for Mothers
Day,or for a special friend, or for yourself...drop in and have a
peek.....
