My second pair was made from yarn that I dyed with Easter egg dye. I had a question on the second sock, and (wearing the Plymouth socks so I could show them off) I took a partial sock with me so I could show them where I was stuck. The lady asked, "Where did you get the yarn?" And I explained that I had dyed it at home with Easter egg dye. The answer to my question..."You should sign up for a sock class". And that was that. Fortunately once I reread my instructions I figured out where I had messed up.<br /><br />LOL Cat, I guess we are just nosy. I was thinking about this and maybe, for me, my main contact with other knitters is through blogs. And usually, any new yarn or project is explained in detail with links. I guess in real life, some don't understand this.<br /><br />Sara, you sound like me. It's a round trip of 64 miles to my nearest one..and much farther to the next one. Thank goodness for online shopping! And indie dyers and all the other good things brought to us by the internet! *G* But it's really fun to fondle and sniff the yarn in person.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295619596931784900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-63039391738892547562007-01-29T11:36:00.000-08:002007-01-29T11:36:00.000-08:00One of the LYS here doesn't even have a swift and ...One of the LYS here doesn't even have a swift and ball winder for it's customers...and one does but only for stuff you purchase from her...of course, the closest LYS for me is 20 miles one way; the other is in New London which is 45 minutes away (that's the really expensive & snooty one)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00188797432417336539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-30076323975859043402007-01-29T11:31:00.000-08:002007-01-29T11:31:00.000-08:00Oh I definitely would have wanted details.

That should be part of the service... just like being able to ask for advice.<br /><br />At my LYS, the swift and winder are behind the counter. There isn't enough room for the owner and another person. *L*<br /><br />Some people just aren't curious. /sighCookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544329180614399109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22119070.post-33074004216214087042007-01-29T04:07:00.000-08:002007-01-29T04:07:00.000-08:00Heh, once again I wrote comments, c/p to emails an...Heh, once again I wrote comments, c/p to emails and then closed the window without posting it.
