What could I do ?
Lol - went to the Three Bags Full Sale on Saturday afternoon - just to Vancouver for the day. Crazy scene - apparently the morning line was out the door by 15 people. Luckily, by the time I arrived late afternoon, the line was just inside the door. Fabulous prices - 30% off Malabrigo Silky Merino, and 20% off the Malabrigo Sock, and Malabrigo Worsted. Surprisingly, (or maybe not so), the price on the Malsock was C$23.95 reg. price, same as the 20% off ended up being at Beehive (20% off $29.95). I guess that's either the exchange rate or extra cost of ferry and shipping to the Island. By the time I arrived, the cupcakes were well long gone, as was most of the Malabrigo Aquarella and Gruesa at 50% off, and no lonely singles. I did pick out most of what I wanted, and then some.
Here's a close-up of the Mmmmmalabrigo part:
Yum!
Sunday was the BB belated Christmas Party - interesting swap exchange, this season, I was at 3 of these gift exchanges with stealing possibilities and ended up with #1 - now, if I could just figure out a way to make that work for other things...
I made up for it anyway, by receiving by mail on Monday a skein of Italian Silk by Fleece Artist that a lady from New Brunswick was destashing on Ravelry-
It's beautiful!
Hard to believe though that 119g of yarn cost $10.66 to send from East Coast Canada (New Brunswick) to West Coast Canada (Victoria, BC)
yet costs $5-6 to go to the US, and $2.14 to send from US to Canada - how's that for fair - our economy could be stimulated probably just by lowering mailing costs.
Met with Chris and she had felted her hat over the holiday - here's the pic:
