What a yarn store should be
So, if you remember from this post (scroll down), my mom ordered a Colinette Ab fab kit last fall from the guys at Threadbear when they had them on sale. She started working on it recently and here are her results so far. Very pretty!

She likes it too, except that the color scheme isn't exactly what she was hoping for to match her living room. So, when I got this week's email from Threadbear and saw they had Ab Fab kits on sale again, I told my mom. She was trying to decide what color to get this time, and I recommended she talk to the guys on the phone and see which THEY would recommend. Well, not only did they help her out, they pulled together a selection of yarns just for her. Within minutes of her call, she had an email with pictures of a group of yarns they pulled together. And she loved almost all of them, but had one change. Then they right away sent another email with 4 other options for her to choose from! So, she ended up with a custom-made kit in exactly the color scheme she wanted - without even asking!!!!! That is service! I wish all yarn stores were like this.

In other news, I've updated my finished object, work in progress, and about me sections. A few items are missing pictures. Once I am back up and about more easily minus the crutches I'll try to get pics of those, but there are quite a bit of updates with pics.
My lace KAL starts tomorrow so that should be fun. Plus, I'll be stopping by the LYS tomorrow to hit their First Thursday sale and get some needles for the lace and some yarn to complete the collection for my Grandmom's wrap that I am going to start sometime. I need to take some pics to tell ya about that one so stay tuned.
Finally, I joined the Trekking Along. Trying to decide whether or not to frog the sock I started or keep going - I'm not sure if it fits or if it should be looser. We'll see. Of course, I won't be doing any trekking anytime soon, but at the end of July, I'll be in Chile and Peru so I should have some great pics then!
