Last week my favorite LYS closed their doors after 8 years in business. Rhonda and Diane at Prairie Wind Fiber and Beads are moving on to other stages of their lives. That is the sad part. The happy part is that all their yarn was 40% off, needles and notions were 30% off, and beads and beading accessories were 25% off. So I spent more than I should have, but came away with lots of good stuff. I got enough bookmarks and cross charms to make bookmarks for all the women in my Bible study group. I also got 3 hanks of neutral shade Ella Rae laceweight yarn to try some yarn-painting, along with 4 colors of jacquard dye to use for the project; 3 pairs of fixed circular needles; and 8 balls of a really soft pima cotton/alpaca blend yarn for some special project. All in all, a pretty good haul.
Goodbye Rhonda and Diane. Good luck with all that goes on with you in the future.
