Here’s how they get you. So you sign up for the JoAnn’s mailing list. They send you a 40% off coupon for two weeks, a 50% off coupon for only Friday (today) and a 50% off coupon for only Saturday (tomorrow). You figure you may as well buy something for half off, and stop by.

I’m a poet, and I didn’t even know it!
Still hard at work on my Sockapaloooza sock. But I made the mistake of having real coffee last night (am I really this old?) and I couldn’t get to sleep until 3 am! So I ended up finishing this bizarre creation:
I hope it will have a nice […]
So I’m happy to say I’m in the 50% that Alison says are not done with their Sockapaloooza socks. I hope to be done on time, but I keep getting work (of course that’s not a bad thing) and now I have my two scarf projects for my LYS. And a project due soon where […]
It was bound to happen:

Subject: your sock pal’s address -
Hello Elspeth, It’s almost shipping day, May 2nd! Here is your sock pal’s address …
And I’m not done! No pressure …
This weekend was a whirlwind, and it probably won’t stop until those Sockapaloooza socks are mailed next week! (I am stressing out about getting that “here’s the address” email as well …)
I haven’t had much knitting time, so I’m only just into the pattern on the second sock. But I did do a swap […]
Damn, the TKGA Market is only 0.6 miles from where I’m going to be in Oakland — I could walk! I guess we’ll see what kind of break I get.
So along with the stress of my second Sockapaloooza sock to make and probably the only work I’ll get this year, I have to retake my Broker’s license tomorrow! But, you know, it does mean an all day “break” from the kids while I’m in Oakland all day.
Last time I was thinking I would go […]
I’m done!!! With sock #1, that is. Here’s my latest problem. I started the socks with size 2.5 dpns and was so worried the fabric wasn’t sturdy enough, so on Socknitters someone had suggested to go down a needle size for the foot. I went down to size 2 circs and liked the fabric […]
I’m slowly working on sock #1 for my Sockapaloooza pal. I really hope to finish it by Friday so I have some hope of finishing sock #2 by May 1st, but we’ll see. They always seem to take longer than I think they will. But with 600+ people in the group, you’d think there […]
I think I’m going to be typing nonstop for the next week when my bosses come back from vacation (that’s when I get work, but they haven’t gone away in awhile), but I had to share with you my spoils from Simply Sock Yarn. Here goes:
This is my favorite, a gray/black variegated Opal Handpaints. […]
