So I’ve been telling the last few people who ordered Jayne hat kits that it could be a week before I get to mail out their package, because I am waiting for a shipment of yellow yarn to come in. I joked that Browncoat knitters are single-handedly creating a yellow yarn shortage. More yellow arrives on my doorstep today or tomorrow, by the way.<\/p>\n
At least, I thought<\/i> I was joking about us causing the shortage.<\/p>\n
I went to the Needlecraft Center in Davidson, NC today because they had some rust yarn (which, yes, I am now very low on and also waiting for) and they mentioned that they had googled the hat and found a picture of it. I said that was me, and they treated me like some kind of minor knitting celebrity. I feel more like a knitting curiosity, but I’ll take it anyway.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I explained about my supply chain problems, and they said, “Oh, we can order cones from the mill too!” Needless to say, I was all over that. As it stands, the yarn has to go from Nebraska to Oregon, then from the middleman in Oregon to me in North Carolina, and shipping is a bitch. So they called the mill.<\/p>\n
LYS: “Yes, I’m wondering if you have cones available of Sunburst Gold, Autumn…”
\nBrown Sheep: “Oh, you must be knitting those caps!”<\/p>\n
Yes, it’s apparently true, we ARE causing a shortage of yarn. I pity the person who just wants to make an autumn leaf sweater, but can’t because of those damn Browncoats.<\/p>\n
But I don’t pity them too much. Go us!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
