I had badly wanted to try out the newest and greatest superlative yarn and my favorite online shop was going to get a shipment. :-) Tammy and I were on the ball...first she was on the watch for it, then me. We were constantly on guard, patiently waiting for it to be ready for sale and then we'd grab a couple of skeins.
But after three days of diligent watching, they sold out in a few minutes before we ever got up in the morning. Sniff, sniff.
Those on the East Coast and those who stayed up ALL NIGHT got some. Me? None.Here's the part I should be ashamed about:
That goofy little girl inside me wanted to take over; she kept yelling, "It's not FAIR"!!!! As I went through the day, calmly educating my children and keeping our home, she kept bringing the situation to mind and it was getting more sad and pitiful as the days following the fiasco went on. I was dwelling on it like a little baby: poooor me. I bet Wollmeise isn't as great as everyone reports, anyway! Hmph! Why should THEY get it all???!!
Can you picture it? Quite a state of mind over a silly bit of wool.
I finally moved on, due to an exciting trip up to coast to SF to visit wonderful family. I forgot all about the sad events and embraced the adventure in front of us. (More about said trip later today).
As the weekend progressed and thoughts of Wollmeise yarn stayed far away from me, I was able to work on several projects and we had such fun doing other things. Yesterday, as we walked to Delores Park in the City, ambling along,.....SERENDIPITY HIT!!!
There was a yarn store, a great yarn store, appearing across the street:
Can you even believe it? Right there! In all of this huge city, I walk blithely down the street and run into this great yarn store. They had koigu, Manos, every socks yarn under the sun and every other yarn too (except Wollmeise because NOBODY carries it...out of stock everywhere) and I scored:
Now I feel better....

Yay! Welcome back. Wait til you see my next post. ;)
What luck...and a fun knitting shop.
That's a pretty colorway. I didn't know there was Kureyon sock yarn.
I just got some of that Noro sock yarn, too. I ordered it online for me and I got a skein for Betty as well. (Betty at the LYS)
Isn't it just the prettiest yarn?
By the way, I got my shipment from TLE yesterday. I can go to the LYS next Tuesday around 11:00 and I'll bring it with me. Work okay for you? I need to send a note to Tammy, too.

It is definately the place to go when you re bummed about not getting any Wollmeise on sale.
