My three things:
I#1. want the Loopy, Sister Louise and Bart stitchmarkers but missed them. If you set up a waiting list add me to it.

#2. I have placed three orders in about a weeks time.

#3. I still have yet to knit my first complete pair of socks but am addicted to the yummy sock yarns.

Three things:

#1: Can you ever have enough money to buy all the yarns that you want? I am thinking no because…

#2: I have recently been on a drooling and making a list binge and have LOTS that I want. I have been really good for a long time now (I think I last purchased in November)

#3: I think that absolutely beautiful yarn that you are pimping there is from Perchance to knit and if so, I REALLY want that colourway. Even if not, I will still buy that colourway

1) I finished two pairs of Cascade Fixation socks this week. One pair was started last Thursday and finished on Tuesday. The other pair was started at least two years ago, then I lost the pattern. I found the pattern on the internet on Monday, then I finished the pair on Tuesday (one was done, and the other was done down to the gusset…I could have finished them years ago, but I couldn’t deconstruct the lace pattern to finish!).

2) I have ordered WAY too much yarn from Sheri and from two other indie-sock-yarn sellers recently. A skein of Cherry Tree Hill yarn that’s been aging in my stash for at least four years leapt out and guilted me into starting socks with it before I dive into any of the shiny new yarns I’ve bought recently. I’m knitting that skein in a lace pattern just to make it feel loved.

3) I was going to order the Loopy markers and am sad that they’re all gone. I wonder if Sheri would be willing to set up a waiting list for them. I love the idea of sheepy stitch markers so much that I may pull out the Fimo collection this weekend and try to make some! I have a gorgeous lampworked glass sheepy bead on a necklace that can watch over me while I try to make them.

Sheri, the speed with which you get orders out and to customers is mind-boggling! I get yarny happiness on my doorstep in three days! [I my awesome mailman, too. Nicest guy.] Love what you carry, love the care that goes into the packing. Love all my new yarns.

1. I think I might become a Martha after I finish this Sweet Georgia Yarn Coffee Bean pair of socks. They are gorgeous so far can’t wait to wear them.

2. None of my kids are born in the same state.

3. I can’t seem to let myself order any Posh Yarn for some reason but I keep looking at the Cherry Tree Hill.

Three things…hmmm.
1) WH won an international/national award at work.
2) I can eat an entire medium pizza and drink have a bottle of wine and still frog a gansey.
and 3.) I am running outta room for my sock yarn….teacups are full and the neighbors laugh if I use yarn in the dead air space between the windows.
Now excuse me while I finish my order….LOL!

I too have broken a window by smacking it – in my case the dog was driving me nuts. He has a little separation anxiety. I found out the hard way that my house’s doors still have “real” glass and not safety glass. I was lucky not to cut my arm off.

Interestingly, 5 years or so later (just last month as it happens) I came home and the window was broken (cracked but no holes). I didn’t do it. Luckily they replaced it with safety glass.

Notice this long boring post has prevented me from ordering more yarn. 2008 will be here soon!

Let’s see, three things…
1. There are no Starbucks in Italy. Sad but true.
2. I don’t have a cat (my husband is allergic to them) but we do have a very sweet—though huge—Newfoundland dog. Who purrs.
3. I’m see I’m not the only one placing get-it-before-it’s-gone-even-if-it’s-your-third-this-month orders—but it’s so much fun ordering from the Loopy Ewe, how can you resist?

I know, I know, I know who is the new Indie Dyer. You gave it away when you mentioned the Swarovski crystal stitch marker. I have ordered some of her wonderful sock yarn before. I love these Indie Dyer ladies and had searched them out on my own before you came along and brought them into my life. Great catch!
I also looooove Apple Laine yarns.

Gosh, I didn’t realize I had until the end of March for Frank’s and Martha’s. I guess I don’t have an exuse, so I must go to my stash and select something to knit.

Ummmm, let me think…three things:

1. I love it when my cat, Jake comes up on my lap and wants to be held in my arms like a baby.

2. I love the smell and aura of a bookstore. I literally can set or roam the aisles for hours upon end.

3. I love the color, feel, aura, the everything of a yarn shop. Now in a yarn shop I could live. However, to have the yarn around me and to feel it working through my fingers creating something that has beautiful color. I think this is the reason I have such a stash or should I say collection of colors.

Animal Facts For The Day:

1. When I get up every morning Jake (my cat) leads me out to the kitchen.

2. He moved his water bowl off his food mat twice today. (why..?)

3. After he’s done with throwing his mouse in the air and then going after it, he thinks it needs a bath and then takes it and drops it into his water bowl.

1. I know who the new dyer is.

2. I just got my order of sock yarn from Loopy ewe in the mail last night and I can’t wait to knit it up.

3. It’s my birthday in three days and I am going to treat myself to a truck load of new yarns, a cup of cocoa, and a whole day to sit and knit in front of the tv without anyone bothering me. I can’t think of a better way to spend a birthday.
