Well, it's May 1st. I got a gift card from my parents for my birthday early in April. I hadn't really done much with it. I've joined a couple crochet groups on FB, mainly for inspiration. I've noticed people posting these ginourmous lots of yarn they got cheap by ordering online.
While I need a ginourmous lot of yarn like I need a hole in my head, I decided a few more skeins would be okay. So found a site called KnittingWarehouse.com. I ventured around the site and found some Sugar and Cream yarn at a pretty good sale price. WHile the price was the same as I've paid in stores, the amount of yarn in each bundle was more than double the normal amount.
So I was getting a good deal. I ordered three, one a strawberry combination,, one a combo of basic crayon colors, and the other a combo of browns and pinks. I like variegated yarns. It changes color for me and makes interesting patterns. How is that not a good plan??
Well, my interest is high and my patience is low, so I've been tracking this stuff like my normal freak of nature self. (I said normal?? Normal for me..it's a whole different thing than NORMAL) So, this yarn started out in Grand Rapids, MI. That's about three hours from where I live. I always thought it was five or six hours away. I learned on a trip this last fall with my bestie Laura and her daughter Camryn that it's only a few hours away. Whatever. I'm geographically challenged.
Then it was sent to Des Plaines, IL. I'm perplexed. To me the simple plan would to put the yarn in a box, put the box in a truck and deliver it to Perrysburg, 3 hours away. But to DHL, the plan is take the box of yarn, scan it in GR,, MI, then take it on a ride to somewhere around Chicago I guess. I hope it caught a Bulls game or got a good pizza.
I expected it today, and asked one of my neighbors to sign for it it if need be. Well, no need for that. My yarn is in Hebron, Kentucky, which is about 3 hours SOUTH of where I live. So,, the yarn can be 3 hours north, and then three hours south before it actually gets to me, and who knows, it's probably going to go a few hours east too, so maybe I need to find out where that is.
I get it now, my yarn is making a diamond around me. We're playing baseball?? I don't do baseball. I want my yarn.
Okay...well. I hope you've enjoyed my yarn of travelling yarn. Have a great day and peace out.
