yarn shopping

The Postman Rings Once, Then Twice, Then . . .

There have been a lot of packages containing yarn and fiber gracing my doorstep in the last few weeks. In my defense (assuming I need one), some have contained yarn for “secret” projects. But, admittedly, the vast majority have surfaced as the result of the undeniable lure of online yarn shopping.

I’d first like to warn everyone that Jen at Woolgirl is evil . . . evil beyond belief. Who does she think she is, enticing me by wrapping those packages up so nicely with real ribbon, candy, and assorted prezzies.

Plus, now she’s having a sale! It won’t work on me, Jen. Nope. I’ve already bought all you have to offer and plenty from other vendors, too:

I think I have enough to keep me busy for a while.

Details To Follow

I got back home late last night and I’m exhausted.

In short, Rhinebeck was everything I knew it would be, and then some.

Details tomorrow.

Rhinebeck Bound

After a bit of serious drama at my house in the wee hours of the morning on Monday, it looks like my trip to Boston/Rhinebeck is still a go. I won’t have Internet access for more than a week although there just may be a guest blogger here to entertain you on Thursday or Friday.

I’m excited to meet many of you for the first time, face-to-face. As my local grrls know, I completely suck at remembering names and other relevant information. So please forgive me if I mess up. And please stop me and say hello if you see me. You can recognize me in three ways:

1. I look like this (only my hair is a little shorter now):

2. If you’re playing Blogger Bingo, I’ll be carrying this tote bag.

3. If the weather forecast is wrong and it doesn’t rain on Saturday/Sunday I’ll be wearing this:
