They have a very active presence on Ravelry because they do special sales thru the year... Spinoffs over Labor Day and Memorial Day and now the Twelve Days of Christmas. <br /><br />the method has changed since the previous years, this year each day starting with Dec 12 - has a new item for sale at midnight according to the day - as in day one has one item, day two has two items but they are always the same kind of item ... like the first item is sock yarn, the second alpaca, etc. <br /><br />there is a spreadsheet at the Ravelry group (look for the topic Dizzy 12 days). that helps you keep track<br /><br />anyway, there are discounts as well to be used when you go over $50. (easy to do). <br /><br />not that you need more yarn but you might be interested in looking - the change this year is that each item stays up the whole day - so you have the whole day unless it sells out to reflect and purchase. <br />Southern Galhttp://sogalitno.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-66349360699176990902013-12-15T14:52:55.299+00:002013-12-15T14:52:55.299+00:00MadTosh is so popular that it is really difficult ...MadTosh is so popular that it is really difficult for shops to know when, if , and what will come in a order. The Yarnery is going to have a replacement yarn that uses the same base and looks to be gorgeous, I'll let you know when I get a look at it up close. (Many dyers use the same base, but it's all in the colors!)Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-62167471856808368542013-12-15T09:00:09.542+00:002013-12-15T09:00:09.542+00:00The Book Depository have Life after Life.

He is trying to avoid controversy by not saying why he isn't there but the reality is that South Africa won't grant him a visa because the Chinese have "asked" (told) them not to.<br />The Chinese are pouring money into South Africa of course but they don't like the Dalai Lama. (The Chinese don't like Archbishop Desmond Tutu either because he has criticised the ANC which might account for the "misunderstanding" of the off-on invitation to attend the funeral service but at least Tutu attended. catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
