I'm not sure if I have any readers who knit or crochet, but if there is anyone out there reading this who does, then you'll want to know about a yarn sale that my LYS is having. If you're like me and enjoy buying sale yarn for your projects (I think it's because I feel less-guilty when self-splurging if I'm doing it at a discount), then here's a link to the store's website where you can purchase some. A quick note about the store: I truly love to visit Yarn Heaven, perhaps it's because that's where I went to get my first skein of yarn and a pair of knitting needles. I remember that the store was packed that day of my first visit, but Tarie (the owner) made sure to greet her customers as they came in, and then to say good-by as they walked out. The kind lady who helped me with my needle selection (and started me on my love for circular needles) was a Scot with a brogue so thick I could barely undertsand her. The cheerful atmosphere and the huge yarn selection impressed me, and I have returned countless times to YH since. Tarie is such a giving person (look at Vogue's KnitSimple winter '05 issue for an article about Tarie and her Hurricane Katrina relief efforts) and she always knows the books and yarn that will excite me to a new project. :-) She still maintains the best yarn inventory in my area (no competiton for her in this county!) and has just added even more to it. Take a look at her website to see the yarns for yourself. Here's a quick list of the yarns on sale:

Wow! That's enough to make me wish I was a knitter too! *wink*
It sure was great to have lunch with you guys yesterday - I wish we had more of a chance to visit though... *sigh* Oh well. Things will die down more soon, I hope.
Lunch was so much fun! Did you ever find out who won the race? ;-)
We really do need to get together again soon. It's too hard to try to catch up on everything in one meal. I don't know about you guys, but I'm counting down the days to our Hoodwinked party! :-)
