Wollmeise!!!

Yesterday's mail brought my latest yarn purchases-Wollmeise from the Loopy Ewe. After watching the website all day last Monday,they put the yarn up at 9PM Central Time. In less than five minutes, 300 skeins were gone! It must have been fun to watch from their end. I was thrilled to get my two skeins after skein after skein disappeared from my virtual cart before I could "check out".  After debriefing, I have rethought my shopping strategy and am ready to do battle for their next shipment. Bring on the Wollmeise.  The GA skein was to avoid shipping charges and it is a good, manly color. Greg likes the name, too.

Wollmeise

The word on the street was that Wollmeise would be posted on The Loopy Ewe website sometime early this week. So, being obsessive and a compulsive sock knitter, I kept a laptop within reach while I was knitting Greg's Wollmeise Earl Grey Sock. Every few minutes I refreshed the screen. Then....Lo and behold, at 7PM (Pacific Time)....there it was! Sadly, I browsed too long and many of my purchases disappeared out of my cart before I checked out (less than 5 minutes later). Neither of the two items I managed to bag were my first choice.  However, I did score some Wollmeise.  Woot!  The colorways that I will have the pleasure of paying for are Indisch Rot and Zenzi. Before the bloodbath started, I managed to finish one sock up to the heel turn.  All in all, it was a fantastic sock-filled day.
