I'd like to post a short, but heartfelt THANK YOU to all patrons of the last 2008 Stitch'n'Kitsch yesterday. What a great crowd to brave the freezing rain and pelting... slush? Ice pellets? Whatever that was - I think it depended on what moment you stuck your nose out as to what was flinging down from the sky.
Special thanks of course to those who checked out Lofty Fibres' tiny little table, bought yarn, and even tried out my handspun or the Learn To Knit kits! (New knitters - email me to let me know how it's going, loftyfibres AT gmail DOT... you know the rest.)
As a token of some ongoing thanks, and to give all my knittin' pals a holiday break, stay tuned to the Etsy shop (Over there --> on the right....) for the next couple of days. All 2008 yarns remaining are being reduced!
My reasoning is two-fold: 1) It's the holidays, we all need a break! and 2) Etsy is great. It's a superb, economical, pay-as-you-go venue for the small crafter. BUT, for us Canadians, they don't yet have a Canadian currency option, which means with today's economy and exchange, it's harder for Canadians to buy on line. It's great if my US friends do because I win on that exchange but not so much for us in the Great Wet North (yes, still raining today).
So! All in-stock yarn will be reduced so I can make room for more! And the Canadian Economy bonus is, $1 per item shipping anywhere in Canada! US shipping is still a reasonable $5 on the first, $1 for subsequent, items, but the price reductions apply regardless.
Happy Holiday yarning, everyone.
