Back in 2013 I got inspired to put myself to the task of knitting. Knitting whatever until my fingers burned. Knitting and selling items to raise money for the things that matter to me. What was I planning on knitting? I had no idea. There was no real plan. The "message" was to just knit and not worry about the details.
...And so I did.
By the end of 2013 I had raised enough money to provide 800 meals to orphans in DPRK, help provide educational opportunities to kids in rural Cambodia and Tanzania, and to help provide safe passage and freedom for North Korean refugees in hiding.HOW AWESOME IS THAT???
And, through this amazing process, many things in my personal life have shifted and changed. I am realizing that I need to make more, to chip away some of my production costs, and to really step into my dream.
Introducing "Phase Two":
As of today I have officially entered into "Phase Two" of my business. I have begun securing retailing relationship with several major yarn manufacturers, am trying to secure an art materials retailing relationship, have begun to acquire the materials to manufacture my own "house yarns" (custom yarns exclusive to The Palette and Purl), and planning on participating in live shows at local fairs and markets, and am working to officially launch my very on click and mortar shop.
And with these new steps remains my ever constant dedication to do my part to fund the change I wish to see in this world. I will continue to donate to humanitarian aid organizations and to get deeply involved with teaching, sharing, and helping to open doors for my fellow beings.
So, stay tuned as I continue to roll out each new phase of my shop. I am so excited to be on this journey with you!
