You have GOT to check out The Loopy Ewe. Not only do they have like a zillion colors of Colinette Jitterbug, but they also sell HALF SKEINS. That’s right, because one skein isn’t quite enough and two is just overkill. So I got myself a half skein of Blue Parrot to finish off my dad’s Chanukah socks (about two inches to go). They bill themselves as “your online source for sock yarns, patterns, and fun accessories.” I restrained myself and only bought what I needed at this moment (I have a Blue Sky Alpacas Whimsical Cap for G that needs knitting up, not even on the needles yet, but there’s the yarn at right, and I’m busy with Crazy4Dyeing’s “You Look Wonderful Tonight” socks, my toe-up recipe). I have it on good authority that they ship Priority Mail, so I’m looking at gratification within the week. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the size Addis that I need (Flying Fingers only had one size zero in the 24″ length. I bought it.), so it looks like I’m calling Cornwall again tomorrow. Not that I dislike that shop, I likes it fine, and they’ve moved into new quarters, I just end up falling into the sock yarn whenever I’m there.
I ran into Earthtones Girl today and we caught up some. I’ve missed her so much! I added her to my blogroll so you can see what she’s been up to as well. I’m busy reading back through her archives. We added each other on Ravelry and have tentative plans for playdates and dinner. I foresee time spent spinning by the fire…Hi ETG!
I’m calling W. tomorrow to follow up on the interview, I’ll rehash here when I get more information. Fingers crossed…
