Customer Service

Wow I was shocked this morning to find a package at the door that I didn't know was there still almost stepping on it. I noticed one side was ripped

so carefully picked it up by that side and whoosh...the contents of the package then fell out the other side.

Isn't it pretty? Here's what was inside

although it was missing 1 skein. Its Woods Trail and part of the yarn I need for a CAL at Kim's Yahoo group for her new book Tunisian around the home. We'll be doing one of the afghans in her book. I'm still waiting for the other 2 colors from another source to come in. Should be this week. I do hope I matched colors good...lol

I'm glad I got the chance to use my new cell phone camera (takes good pics), though I didn't really need it. I wasn't sure what to expect as it was the first time ordering through this company. I called from work right away and the woman took the info and my problem and said they'd ship another out right away. She was very nice, courteous and friendly. She says I should have my missing skein in about a week. I really expected some kind of needing proof and all that crap so I was really surprised at how easy it was. Good Customer Service, I like that!

My Yarnie Goodness

I alway read on Chan's blog about all the knitterly goodness she gets....well I have been lucky enough to receive some yarnie goodness! In fact I almost feel like I have my very own personal yarn shopper :)

To Nancy, I say Thank you, oh my gosh THANK YOU!!! She made the mistake of letting me know she was stopping by one or two of her LYS and one was going out of business. Well you guessed it...I asked her if she would mine getting me some too, I had money to send her for it...Well look at all this softness and colors ...WOW!! I can't stop fondling this stuff..lol Colors are gorgeous and the yarns are so soft....she was right on that brown being a nice chocolate color.... my biggest problem now is trying to figure what I'm going to make with it all!

Then to top that off, Saturday I get a box from Roni, she was sharing the wealth of yarn she ran across at a good find (I knew I had teal yarn coming)....Love that dark teal, wonder what that would look like mixed with teal wool I have?

She enclosed some black too which is really soft and she even made "me" a knitted dishcloth! Thank you so much Roni for being so kind hearted!! That was a really great surprise!! And your doing so great as a new knitter, hope I can do as good knitting as you are doing :) I hope to have my dishcloth knitted up soon so I can Show N Tell it..lol I kinda miscounted how many rows I had left so it'll be alittle longer, but I will get it!

Hope everyone has a Super week ahead!!

Crochet Update & Contest I Found!

Wow, was I a bad girl, but it feels so good...Look at all my yummies...My Knit Picks order came in and man, could I go for a real Smores :) The purples are Rocky Mountain and the Blues are Yukon & then of course my Smores..lol Now I just have to get with the program and do this knitting thing! I did order more dpn's today from knitpicks so I'll be able to start real soon, but at least I got the yarn :)

Earlier this afternoon Mike asked if I wanted to go to Micheals....lol (you had to ask), well of course I wanted to go and I never turn it down when he wants to go..lol So after a hundred and some odd dollars later I came out with the SWS and lots more cotton,I need more dishcloth and these colors match my kitchen well , plus lots of extra's that I can't show....never know when swap pals may peek in and see..lol Wouldn't want to ruin the surprises.... The SWS I want to do another croceht B4Bag look alike and use black for the welts..in person the SWS looks black, not Navy like it says on label..lol

I also order from Knittingdream the Bar Harbor Shell Bag

and the Stain Glass Window Bag . I just love that bag (Stain Glass Window) and its inspired me even more to learn to knit, heck I just may try that first!

Also, we all love to do contest and there is a contest here so blog on over and enter, It ends July 25th so there is still time. I found it through Chan's blog.

I did do some crocheting this weekend. I crocheted The Market Bag for a good friend of mine. It was so so easy and fast too! I started it on Friday afternoon and only had to finish up the handle Saturday morning. I really was surprised that I didn't try this bag before. I will say it is BIG, measure 15" across the center bottom which is circular. Nice size for market or even make a great beach bag to throw things in or a project bag too. Here's a pic of the one I made. Came out great! I have started another one for myself too :)

Well I think I covered everything I wanted too...happy Crocheting/Knitting everyone! Hope its a great week ahead!!
