Unplanned stash increasing!
If you're in Canada, today at Zellers they have Bernat yarn 2-for-1.
Not good! I went in simply to exchange a broken game for a new one for DS....and came out with the game AND three...yes, three!...shopping bags of yarn. Got Cottontots (4), Handicrafter (2), Satin (4) and Big Value (4) for $20 (plus tax)! So now I have yarn for purses for needy girls who are graduating, two baby shower gifts and some items for sale out of the Cottontots and Handicrafter. This on top of a trip to Lewiscraft yesterday....yikes! I'm overflowing! Now, if only I can find the time to use all this up....or find somewhere to hide it before DH sees it Anybody else take advantage of this sale? Michelle |

Hi the
No...I didn't check out the Zellers sale but last night popped into Lewiscraft at the local mall. As suspected they didn't have too much there i was interested in. Not a lot of yarn remaining but I did manage to pick up a some round knitting needles at 30% off. I think they are bringing stock in from other stores according to what the clerks were conversing about in the opposite aisle smirk. I asked when they would be finally closing and the indicated 3 months tops and possibly sooner. I'm not sure if this is the case everywhere. Anyway, it will be a shame to lose them as that is the only real crafty type store in the area. take care donna from ontario, canada "Eastern Edge" wrote in message oups.com...

Hi
No I didn't check out Zellers sale but of course I went out again to Lewiscraft and did find some yarn. I picked up some more Starlette by Mary Maxim so now have lots of yarn. I understand about needing more time to use it all up as since Lewiscraft announced it was closing I have got lots of yarn. My problem is DH is such an influence and has driven me to various stores to look at yarn. Square One in Mississauga had quite a bit of yarn today. Sorry shouldn't tell any of you this.

By law they have 90 days to liquidate, so they're trying to sell off everything in that time. If its gone before, they'll close before. It's a shame to lose them; Michaels opened up here last year, so there IS a craft store, but for me it's clear across the city, and a large, sprawling place. Not always a happy experience when I just want a few specific things but have to drag the children past lots of other stuff to get them. Michelle |

LOL Hugs, Nora I was *very* surprised; some smart person had posted a sign right on the entry door, so of course the whole temptation was there from the second I walked into the store. Of course, I did manage to go to customer service and the toy department first, to do the exchange I went in for originally. Plus I showed some restraint and actually put back several skeins...but DS showed off his counting by counting the ones I did buy...14! Well, according to him it was 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, but I corrected him quite quickly....no need to make me look worse! Michelle |

Higs, Katherine I even bought a ball of Patons Kroy Stripes at Lewiscraft Friday and I'm halfway through a 6x6 pouch purse for myself with it....what lovely stuff it is! I would have done even better if Zellers had the Bernat Lana in colours I liked Michelle |
