Heh heh. (nervous laughter while glancing over at burgeoning stash)
Jillian pointed out that Little Knits is having a sale on bags of Noro Silk Garden for $75, through October 27. I bit. A bag of color 217 is coming my way for Lady Eleanor. After being so good at Rhinebeck, I'm entitled to a little enhancement, no?
Not to be outdone, Laura alerts us to a 50% off coupon at Joann (OCTH550), which just happens to carry Sew EZ blocking boards (and other goodies like umbrella swifts and yarn winders).
Posted by jess at October 25, 2005 8:52 AMOOOoooooo Silk Garden sale !!! Nice spy !
I started, last weekend, my lady eleanor in silk garden !! I chose a bit more of a vibrant colorway, #87 (rainbow). I am now two or three balls into it, and I couldn't be happier with the yarn choice. The entrelac is kind of rustic, and is pairs nicely with the silk gardens' rawness.
Good Luck and have fun, I can't wait to see your finished Lady E !!!
Posted by: Strawberryfever at October 25, 2005 10:50 AMOhhhh, man. Eleanor will be absolutely swoonalicious in that colorway.
Posted by: eunny at October 25, 2005 11:13 AMYay for Eleanor! And if you don't have a swift and winder, get them asap.
Posted by: Lauren at October 25, 2005 11:18 AMOhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh....love Noro Silk Garden! Thanks for the lovely picture and enjoy!
Posted by: Roxanne at October 25, 2005 11:37 AMOk, thanks to your blog I am (very happily) $60.00 poorer =)
You have a great site and I enjoy reading it.
Posted by: Kim at October 25, 2005 12:05 PMJillian is evil. I was able to squash those, "Ooooh! It's on sale!" voices in my head after I read her post yesterday. Now that you went and got some, I'm thinking maybe I should break down and get some, too. I can't do it... but a yarn swift from Joanns, that I might be able to do..
Posted by: Angela at October 25, 2005 12:38 PMyay for 217!! i am making klaralund with that color right now. it is a great color.
can't wait to see what you'll make out of SG!
Posted by: blossom at October 25, 2005 1:15 PMhaving a bit of a reputation as a yarn enabler, i say sally forth with your noro!!
Posted by: heatherfeather at October 25, 2005 2:54 PMAlways happy to enable. I am not evil, much :)
Posted by: jillian at October 25, 2005 3:18 PMAs a, uh, 24 hour new knitter I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog! You have amazing talent and a great collection of photographs which inspire me to practice more!
Posted by: Mari at October 25, 2005 8:24 PMThanks for the JoAnn tip - I was in need of a blocking board and with 50% off, who can resist!
Curse you for passing on all of this sale information.
Posted by: Gina at October 26, 2005 11:22 PMDid the promotion expire? I put in that code number and it said that it expired?
If that's correct, do you know where Laura found it? I'd like to see if they've got anymore down the road.
thanks
Posted by: alice at October 27, 2005 5:09 PMI'm mid-way through my Lade Eleanor in Silk Garden. I can't wait to finish it - it's by far my favourite project ever. Everyone who sees it is amazed at how the colours fell into place.
