Yarn swaps are good! Last sunday at knitsmiths, there was a yarn trade. Bring in your tired yarn and pick out something new and exciting to you. Shopping with no money exchange. Can life get any better than that? I submit that it can not! Regia sock yarn. Lamb's pride. and well, I would have sworn to you that I got 2 lambs pride. But, alas, it appears that one is brown sheep. The proof is in the pudding. Or picture, as the case may be.

I showed you an inox express needle that I was very unhappy about the other day. In all fairness, I think I should post Rob's comment to me here. Here's what he wrote, exactly...

"There were problems with the manufacture of some INOX about a year ago that has since been cleared up---some of the ones made in Mexico were splitty, as you reported. Supposedly the Germans came down HARD and the quality should be back to normal (excellent!). Take your splitty needle back to the LYS and get an exchange. Their supplier should replace it for them, in turn."

So, there you have it. They are half the price of addi turbo, the love of my life. Could inox take their place in my heart? Can Sandy trust Inox again? Will inox let her down? Will Addi come through in the end, the knight in shining armor? Stay tuned.......

And I'd like to send a shout out to Marie of Knitti-Me, http://knitti-me.blogspot.com/. Thank you, Marie for sending me info on the Over the Rainbow Yarns . She extoled their virtue and is witness to their beauty. So, guess what?? I'll be ordering some of that scrumptious yarn. Or maybe some of this yummy variety. Or this.... OY! It will be a tough decision. Maybe I'll win the lottery! I married for love you know, not money! Someone remind me of my budget, QUICK!

Happy weekend!
