Default Daylight S.E.X.!

Made the mistake of visiting the "new" Hobby Lobby, which is just the
old ghetto Hobby Lobby relocated further up the strip mall into a
space vacated earlier this year by Mervyn's.

Yesterday was the first day the "new" store was open for business
after a four-day down window to move stock, etc.

The clearance section is a sight to behold: five 25-foot aisles full
of stuff which had in the old store been crammed into a dark corner
willy-nilly with no hope of finding anything. The clearance section
in the new store is organized well and undoubtedly contains stuff that
HL is dropping from it's standard line.

I found a full bag of the Bernat 100% merino @ $2.75/ball, all
same-dyelot navy. It'll knit up as a gansey quite nicely, albeit at a
"non-traditional" gauge. I also bought five hanks of same in the
medium-light wedgewood blue for a kid sweater - at that price I can
afford to put him in 100% handwash wool, right?

Just what I needed - more yarn!

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.
This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%.
Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...
