Oh dear, I just placed an order last week with Webs because if I ordered from them what I needed, I could get the discount and get stuff I didn't need for "free."
I think I might be in a permanent state of red....
I don't know if its good or bad, but that yarn shop across the water (you know the one), we went last weekend, and I came out without any purchases. I wanted to purchase, but just didn't find anything I couldn't live without. Was this the wrk of the devil on my left shoulder or the angel on my right? Hurry back to the PNW.
Going on my fridge. Now. But I did think up a new Justification line: "Look, Honey! these cute little ball bands were on sale, and they came with free yarn!" (Operative words, to be enunciated clearly: SALE; FREE)
Franklin, you always have something - artist that you are. You have a way of putting pen to paper, be it words or art, that expresses the thoughts of many of us. This is just so appropo for so many of us.
Thanks for the warning - I've been doing quite a bit of mental browsing lately, and you've save me from doing more physical browsing :) Btw, I'm glad I had already finished my coffee, so it didn't get sprayed all over my laptop! Barb
This is going on knitting/tote bags at your Cafe Press shop, right? 'Cause it really should. :) I'm not *quite* that addicted yet (mostly because I'm perpetually broke, er....well, actually cheap), but the words "free shipping" can in fact make me do crazy, crazy, out of my usual behaviour pattern things.
You know, I would print one up and give it to the Husbandly One, but he'd probably find some diabolical way to use it against me. He knows me far too well!!
How timely! I just yielded to the siren call of some Habu Soft Merino, despite a full slate of holiday knitting and an overflowing stash. Thanks for the laugh.
I've just come back from a holiday in Istanbul. Whispers very quietly - I came back with 7 balls of yarn. But it's Ok - it was very very good value for money!
Please keep this warning away from my husband. and my offspring too.
I'm placing this in our scrapbook. On our tenth anniversary trip, my husband made a point of taking me to a yarn shop and buying some lovely alpaca for me. He's a keeper.
Having just returned from 2 weeks vacation... and found 3 yarn stores (randomly! without having googled "Barcelona yarn store" or anything!)... I was in stages blue through orange the whole time!
Franklin, I just wanted to let you know, today I gave my mother the link to this blog for 2 reasons: 1) she knits and is in the process of making an entrelac hat for my son, and 2) when I showed her your Handy Reference Guide, she laughed out loud and said, "o yes, I have said all of those things at different times!"
Memiliki tampilan daun yang unik, monstera sangat cocok dijadikan riasan rumah. Tipe monstera pula lumayan bermacam-macam, yang biasanya dibedakan berasal dari wujud serta corak warna pada daunnya. Dalam tanggal ini, https://hobbymahal.com/ monstera deliciosa juga jadi tipe monstera dengan dimensi daun terbanyak di antara macam yang lain.
Keunikan lain dari monstera deliciosa pula terletak pada wujud daunnya yang nampak seperti hati. Dengan semua keunikan tersebut, tidak heran apabila harga monstera deliciosa dapat menjangkau puluhan juta.

ReplyDeleteI just peed myself a little laughing at this...you are too clever, dear one! smooches!
ReplyDeleteSeveral times lately, I have almost burned out my brakes by screeching to a halt when I have misread "Yard Sale" as "Yarn Sale."
ReplyDeleteIt really does make some sense; having more YARD won't be of use during the pending apocalypse.
I may need a medic alert bracelet.
I totally need this. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI need this on my shopping bag!

ReplyDeleteWhat is the point of traveling if you can't go to the local yarn stores? Just trying to help the economy.

You forgot the highest level -- purple -- GUARANTEED: "OMG! I didn't know (highly-desirable brand name) had an outlet store here!!!!"
ReplyDeleteI need to post this on my 'fridge. :) Think I will! Too perfect indeed.
ReplyDeleteAm headed for Chicago (well, Skokie) in a couple weeks. Will keep this in mind!
ReplyDeleteI always go for the free shipping! Yippee! That's just good sense.
ReplyDeleteWhen are the tote and mug going to be available? Can't wait to get both!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning - I've been doing quite a bit of mental browsing lately, and you've save me from doing more physical browsing :) Btw, I'm glad I had already finished my coffee, so it didn't get sprayed all over my laptop!

I am definitely in the red. It is holiday bazaar season, and I am buying sale yarns in order to help me bulk up my stock!
ReplyDeleteAnne O'Nymous, I've had the same thing recently thinking that the sign that said "Wood Sale" actually said "WOOL Sale". lol

ReplyDeleteOh, dear. Thanks for the warning. Think I'll be safe in Key West this weekend? Oh, rats, a search reveals that there IS a yarn store there.
ReplyDeleteHow timely! I just yielded to the siren call of some Habu Soft Merino, despite a full slate of holiday knitting and an overflowing stash. Thanks for the laugh.
