That was fast. The sheep markers (which are Oh So Cute, by the way) that I bought at the sale arrived in my mailbox today. Thank you very much! WOW! That was fast.

It was my choice only to have home made brownies in lieu of cake...my birthday dinner will come in March at a special Australian food and wine pairings dinner...from barramundi to pavlova...isn't it nice to be a little bit older!

I was waiting, and refreshing until the new items came up. I knew exactly what I wanted, the sheep stitch markers. I put them in my cart and checked out immediately. Then, I went back in to see what was being offered. I'm a happy knitter now! I look forward to the next sale announcement. Thanks for the heads-up a couple of days before the sale.

It was fun and Very competitive sort of like checking out at the store and having the lady in front of you just reach into your cart and take whatever she wanted! Stuff was flying out of my cart left and right. Well, I learned my lesson and I'll be much quicker next time. I had a great time and got something I really wanted. Can't wait to do it again.

(like some of the limited quantity yarn and stitch markers, etc.) I would at least like to SEE some of the goodies that others ed up so quickly! I read references to them after they are gone and I don't ever get to see what all the hullabaloo is about!

I laughed how so many of us were refreshing incessantly, waiting for the new items, and yes, the site slowed considerably. I knew about the cart being emptied "out from under", so did a complete checkout with what I couldn't live without and then went back to try for some loopie markers and PTK - alas, these went to someone else, but knowing it will be back again, it's not a big deal. A grace period on the cart might be a good thing, or if we could make one combined payment for multiple carts purchased... not sure what would work best for you. Keep up the great work, you all do such an excellent job and that's what keeps all of us coming back :)! Hi Sheri, It was actually a lot of fun and an adrenaline rush at times too.

How funny if someone stumbled onto your site and read the comments..they would really wonder what in the world you did Monday night to give so many people such a great time.....online:) Anyway, I must tell you that your customer service is top notch. Also...if you want to have the yarn buying sporting events....I think you saw what triggered it....advance notice! If that was a bit over the top..you could always add things on the sly to your site:) No matter what you do..it is clear we all love Loopy! Sheri,

YOU ROCK! Thanks so much for giving us the experience of a mad dash steeplechase...in yarn form! I did luck out and get some of the SG, though 2 disappeared while I was madly yelling "comeoncomeon" at that little blue line at the bottom left of the screen. It was so much fun that I had to come back a couple more times. By the time it slowed down I was exhausted....I can imagine how all of you in Loopyland felt! Thanks again.....can't wait for my lovely yarn. Sheri….

Thanks so much, Sheri and family, for your superhuman efforts to supply us with beautiful yarns and great service! As for the shopping cart, a grace period WOULD be nice, but generally I assume that if I put something in my cart and don't go to checkout right away, I'm taking a risk that it won't be there when I get back. There's always next time....
