People often ask me about my pixie logo, I commissioned the piece from Aimee Ray, an acceptional artist and illustrator. The art work is original and copyright pixiepurls.com and is not to be used or copied without permission from me.

My knitting obsession began knitting in 2003 and has been
going strong sense. I actually thought I was taking a crochet class at
a local yarn store. I had purchased a little learn to crochet kit at a
craft store and hadn’t had any luck. When I signed up for the class I
just assumed they would teach crochet as well as knitting. So when I
showed up and didn’t have any needles, I was quickly led over to some
nice bamboo size 8s. Then I was led over to the “learning” yarn area. I
really couldn’t motivate myself to learn with any of that yarn, and I
found myself holding a lovely teal skein of Baby Alpaca. After that my
natural fiber obssesion has grown by leaps and bounds!

In 2007 I gave birth to my daughter. While I was pregnant I
knit up a bunch of baby sweaters, there were loads of wonderful
patterns out there but not always exactly what I was looking for. I had
been thinking of a cute short sleeve top I would like to knit my girl,
when she was about 4 months old. I kept thinking about sock yarn,
because it knits up so light and airy. Shopping for yarn one day I
found some really fun red, white and blue sock yarn themed for the 4th
of July. I immediatly had the image of a cute cap sleeve top knit up in
that sock yarn. I went home and measured one of her onsie’s and quickly
cast on. Thus began my adventures in knitwear design for babies.

I would like to thank the multitude of people who have helped
me in my journey to become a designer. Marnie, for
all of your wonderful advice. The owner of Knots of Yarn, for selling
me the yarn that started it all, and for your unfailing encouragment.
