Covid-19  Hi everyone, I have thought long and hard over the last couple of days as to what would be the best course of action for me to take, and have decided to close my shop to the public as we weather this pandemic.   I am happy to mail anything to you that you might need, or I will bring your order out to your car at a predetermined time....just  email me and we will arrange credit card payment or etransfer ..I would not like to see you going without your yarn fix! I will not be at the store most of the time, so the best way to reach me is by email.......lynn@thepurplesock.ca  At this point in time there is really no date as to when I will reopen but will certainly keep you all posted.  Needless to say all knit alongs are posponed until I reopen. But certainly if you already have the yarn feel free to go ahead and work on your sweater for either knit-along at home. I will start a thread in my group on Ravelry  for each of them where you can post questions, info and updates on your progress. It is a place where we can post and feel connected to each other. Feel free to post and let us know what you are working on and how you are doing! Please take care of yourselves and be mindful of others. Thanks, Lynn

I feel like a Celebrity!!

Hello everyone, Well, the Oscars may just be behind us, but I still feel a little bit like a celebrity having a yarn named for my shop! So, finally, we have more "Purple Sock-A-Licious" from TimberYarns, back in stock, and it is such a beauty! Just look at how it knits up! And don't forget the Hudson Bay stripes! Easy to tell that these yarns are "Made in Canada", eh? In 80% Superwash Merino and 20% nylon, this yarn comes in two identically dyed single skeins so your socks will match perfectly. And check out the darling little singles in co-ordinating colours for heels and toes..well, it does not get better than that! Shoot me an email and I will tuck away a skein or two away for you as I am sure they will not last long. Happy Knitting, Lynn

These are such FUN!!! Hi everyone! It never fails to amaze me  how talented and creative and downright SAVVY some people are, and Debbie Lyall is certainly one of those people!! Just look at these bags! Knitting bags, purses, totes, large and small...they are all just so fantastic, so whimsical, so funky and fun! I have so many new ones in the shop and I had a hard time not keeping more than one (OK, maybe two....is three too much?!) anyway, they are super practical as they are made of a heavy felt material so the bags stand up on their own, they hold lots  of yarn, needles..and STUFF! So pop on in or shoot me an email if one of these strikes your fancy, Valentines Day is coming, so drop a hint to your special someone, or treat yourself..these will last years longer than roses! See you soon! Happy Knitting, Lynn
