Adventurous Yarn Shopping

Have you ever been to Posh Yarn Sundays at 6:00 GMT ? I had my 1st experience a few weeks ago and it was wild! I went ahead of time and made all my yarn purchase decisions (only 1 of which I got). Then continually "refreshed" the site starting at about 1 minute before the update and STILL did not get my 1st choices in time - oh the pressure and fun!! Don't try to buy all of your yarn and THEN check out because it won't be there anymore - luckily I knew this and checked each item out before going back for more! Shipping is $5.65 ( £ 2.75) outside the UK, no matter how much you buy.
Dee provides excellent service and oh....such beautiful hand dyed luxury yarn!!!

To clarify....I'm still knitting from stash (other than the sock yarn clause and my 1 (lace) get out of jail free card.) I have gone a little overboard with sock yarn lately though. I don't usually show yarn purchases on my blog, but since I put the above picture up, I may as well show you another...

Isn't that a pretty pile o' sock yarn? Some Lorna's Laces (Lemon, Tahoe) from the wonderful Linda (emtnestr) and J.Knits (lavender), Schaefer Anne (Desert Flower, Georgia O'Keefe), and Seacoast Handpainted (Scarlett Letter) from Allison at Simply Socks. I would highly recommend all 3 of these online stores - beautiful yarn and superb, friendly service!

I just signed up for Sock a Month 4 and somehow followed Kathy and Shirley to Knitty KAL at the very last minute before it closed! So I have some knitting to do....
(and plenty of new yarn to do it with)
