The rep is coming! The rep is coming! What to do? Order all 10 yarns in only a few colors or pick one or two yarns and get LOADS of colors?
So there is sock, lace, merino, super wash merino, super wash lace. It all looks good enough to eat. See them all here.
I just want to ensconce myself in this one.
Do you see what I'm up against?
YELP!

I ordered 18 magically delicious colors of Silk Blend today! I went for the semi-solids as one look at my shelves will tell you that I went a little crazy with variegated stuff.
If you aren’t familiar with Manos Del Uruguay, it’s a co-operative of over 800 women. Sisters are doin’ it for themselves…

Knitters! I am starting out small. Humble beginnings. You know, that whole mustard seed analogy. The mustard seed in this scenario is 3 shelves in a beauty parlor. 3 shelves with a total of 54 square cubbies with which to fill the yarn-shaped hole in my heart.
You see my problem already, don’t you? So many soft, colorful choices, so little space. My work horse yarn is Cascade. My slightly more interesting yarn is Crystal Palace. I need a wow yarn. Nothing too crazy making. Something on the special side like Malabrigo, madelinetosh or Misti Alpaca. I’m really leaning toward madelinetosh but this yarn is hand dyed and getting it may take some time.
The Cascade order arrives on Monday and I hope to pick up the CPY stuff on Tuesday. Wouldn’t it be perfect if I could have the grand opening on April 10th? It is my dad’s birthday.
