Remember this?
I created the Glimpse colorway in February, in honor of one of our customers who tragically lost her baby, Charlie. I wanted to give her -- and all of you, too -- a little piece of something to hold on to. A Glimpse of something better ahead, no matter how dark your current days are.
We decided to donate 20% of the purchase price of these skeins to Share, a non-profit organization that provides support for families who have lost an infant.
You can read more about it here, if you're so inclined.
We were overwhelmed by the response. In two weeks, 572 skeins of Glimpse were ordered.
Today, we sent in a check to Share, on behalf of all of you.
I added some of my own money to round up the final donation amount to $2,500.
The message reads: From members of the knitting community to families who have lost little ones too soon.
Charlie is loved and not forgotten, Shelley. Not by you, and not by any of us.
I hope seeing this colorway will help you remember that.
Knitters are some of the kindest, most generous people I know. Today, I am proud to be one of you.
