Any recommendations on where to buy interesting kilt pins? After I've finished my Imogen I'll probably need a shawl pin, but I don't like them because they have that pokey part sticking out. I don't want to stick the kids or myself with it, nevermind breaking the thing too. So I looked on Webs, and they have some, but I only like one of them (the gunmetal kilt pin and besides, it's backordered), so where else can you get a kilt pin?
I plan on knitting my mother an Imogen in Dream in Color Classy (she was thinking red, so I'm steering her towards In Vino Veritas), so she'll need a kilt pin or some sort of fastening too.
Maybe check etsy? I'm pretty sure knitty and IK have both featured shawl pins by various artisans in their pages, but I can't remember any of the artists right now (maybe Designs by Romi? http://www.designsbyromi.com/shophome.htm). Actually, a lot of Romi's designs look like things you could probably make yourself, with your mad jewlery-making skills...
