These shawl pins are even more gorgeous in person than they look in the pictures. So, true confession: I saw these stick pins first on a large website that I don’t love supporting. That led me to the actual website. I purchased a set of knitting needles and a Tunisian hook after exchanging emails with someone behind the scenes, but I was a little nervous about the price. I’ve never looked back and keep filling out my knitting and crochet collection. These shawl pins were my birthday gift from my kids this year. They’re gorgeous, solidly made, and make me happy.
