My Bad

I re-read my last post & realized I came across as miffed at threadbear. This is absolutely not the case! I am really impressed with the customer service & the fact that Rob has devoted so much time to helping me out...not an easy thing, I can be a bit of an airhead. He even managed to track down another skein of the Koigu for me & I am so grateful! So if anybody got the wrong impression, let me correct it, I LOVE threadbear fiber arts, they are faboo & have well-earned their stellar reputation. I am already planning my next purchase!

What I meant to convey was my exasperation with my day in general. Yes, even library staff have funky days at work. Let me tell you, the number of people who are willing to argue over a $.20 fine is astounding. Oh, they'll admit to being tardy, they just think it's not fair. Like the lady who wanted her fine reduced after returning some books she'd lost while on vacation & thinks there's a difference between someone who intentionally keeps a book & one who accidentally loses one. Come on people, this is the library for Bob's sake! Free books, free internet access, friendly people who will help you find out the average length of hibernation of a naked mole rat...for FREE! Give us a break!

Back to knitting...
I reached the point on my socks where I need to go down a needle size. This means I am looking for 32" size 2 addi turbos. I had no clue that this would be difficult, I mean, I walked right into the store & bought my 32" #3s off the shelf easy-peasy. Oh no, #2s, it seems, are special order material. Well, not neccesarily, there is a store (that shall remain nameless) that I don't like to support that has them...for $17 each!! I need 2 of them, no way am I paying $34 to finish a sock. I would rather wait & get them from elann for $25 + shipping. I am hoping I can get them from threadbear with my second skein of koigu ::shameless plug::. I refuse to use dpns. Especially since the point to the 2 circ method is that I'm doing 2 at the same time, why mess that up now?

Wish me luck!
