While Matthew was in one of his cabinetmaking classes last night, I swung
around to Michaels to look for *one* pattern book (the "Love Me Tender Baby
Afghans" that I saw on line and thought was so sweet). I ended up coming
out with.... FOUR pattern books! Bad Gemini... bad, bad bad!!! *sigh*

Thank goodness there was a 40% off coupon to help out. ;o)

I know what you mean. I don't even drive on the side of town that we
have a Hobby Lobby because I know I'll need up buying a bunch of stuff
(we don' t have a Michaels here in Marion otherwise I'd be staying
away from whatever side of town that would be on too... One day I may
be limited to only staying at home and going to Krogers if I keep this
up.)

LOL Well, at least not until I have a few dollars to spare! ;o)

I hear you! I used to be like that when we had a LewisCraft store in the
mall and a White Rose just down the street from it, in the nearby city. I
really miss LewisCraft and White Rose... they had some really nice stuff.

I'm lucky.

We used to have Lewiscraft and Crafts Canada (or some such name), still
have Michaels. Two really nice LYS have closed and another good one is run
by an older lady who wants to sell & retire. (pout)

However !!!!!!!!!!!!!! We still have Ram Wools, which is a yarn store to
die for!! They get huge business from phone & on-line as well as regular
drop ins. They're finally getting savvy in marketing their products by
having regular sales rather than two a year. ;) ;)

But you're not in Britain, are you?

I know of an excellent e-mail supplier but you can't feel the yarn as you
can in the shop :-(
