Wow! You did great!

Katherine (just a little jealous)

Darlene- that sounds great! How can you NOT expand your stash at those prices!

I'm in Toronto too... so kinda wondering which is your LYS, but seeing as I'm not supposed to be spending any money for a couple of week.... I probably don't need to know!

Dianna,

Well, you never know the store may be just around the corner from you and it never hurts to know where one is located. LOL

Hugs,

Nora who added ten skeins of yarn to my stash today.

You better duck LOL. I already had almost 140 pounds of yarn in my stash and just added another 14 pounds.

Now that I'm back working I'm lucky if I use 2 pounds a month. Yes lots of yarn in my stash now.

Thanks for making me smile when I read this post at work.

This was actually the Lewiscraft warehouse sale that was on this last weekend that I went to.

I'm an East Yorker if that helps locate me.

I don't have a LYS because I haven't found one that I like. I usually end up buying my yarn are various locations. Have you found a good one near you?

How big were your 10 skeins because of course DH is teasing me about the volume that is currently sitting in the hall.

Now I just need to find the time to use all the stash that I now have.

Maybe time to hide for a while and crochet like made.

I live in walking distance from the Naked Sheep in the Beaches, and the Knit Cafe is right across the street from work, so they are both very "local".... but they don't have much in the way of affordable for any big projects, and they don't seem to have decent sales.

I enjoy the atmosphere at Lettuce Knit- but I have to admit- I worked for Lewiscraft for years, so still have a bit of loyalty to them, although they have changed so much since the Lewis family sold the company. It makes me sad to see the state of the yarn wall sometimes.

Organizing the wall with all the colours and textures of yarn was always my favourite part of the job..... Sometimes you'll catch me in a yarn store, tidying up their wall!

Dianna

Good plan! (I assume you are going to crochet like "mad"????)

Katherine

Hi Darlene,

Well, the two solids are each 225g and the variegated are 170g each. LOL

Hugs,

Nora

Being Third generation grocer, I do that when I go grocery shopping. Hence, I don't do the shopping if I can help it!!!!!!

JJMolvik

Yes Katherine crocheting like mad is what I plan on doing.

Dianna

I haven't been to either of those stores so now have yarn shops that I want to visit. Gee with living in the east end all my life you would think I would know where all the yarn shops are out this way.

I usually end up at Walmart, Michaels or Lewiscraft for the larger project yarns.

Darlene in Toronto

I thought so.
