Maybe . . . when I bought the skeins, they were 11 of the last 12 in that color. And I’m not sure if I still have the receipt. I know, dumb.

Maybe a good test of Woolcott would be to try to exchange them. If they don’t, they’re just jerks, because I can’t imagine why, if they have more of the right dye lot, or if they can order more of the right dye lot, they would have anything to lose by exchanging them for you. And you certainly don’t have anything to lose by trying, I think.

Of course, IAKAK, so there might be something here I don’t understand.

Aw, I hope you don’t give up sweater knitting for good, though I know you must feel like never looking at that thing again. I agree that Woolcott should have checked to see if you had skeins from the same dyelot before ringing up your purchase. While technically it might not be their responsibility, I believe those who have served me at various yarn shops (including Woolcott in the past) have always checked, just to be sure. It’s just good business on their part. If you’re ready to switch yarn shops (I go back and forth, myself), I’ve had pretty decent luck at A Good Yarn in Brookline, though I wish I hadn’t gone with the salesperson’s suggested yarn on one project. It wasn’t bad yarn for the pattern, it just wasn’t what I wanted.

I have to admit, I’m mostly on the “spring makes me happy” side, but you probably understand by now, I am sort of a sucker, and every year I think it’s going to be better this go round. I’m like Charlie Brown, helpless to run at spring’s leafy green football, even though I know, come November, I’m going to be on my back, staring up at the squiggly doodle above my head, saying “well, there went another one that’s not coming back.”

This past November wasn’t so bad, but usually, November usually makes me want to cash my chips in while I’m ahead so I don’t have to face another winter.

Spring makes me crazy, too. (Crazier, I should say). I feel like sobbing half the time. I think it’s because the ol’ heart is thawing out along with the weather, and you feel like you SHOULD be happy all the time and then when you’re not–”Oh, there’s something wrong with me.”

Oh. That sucks.

I wish I had something wise, inspirational and/or witty to insert here. But sometimes the only apt sentiment is a quick simple “that sucks”.

I say back away from the PinUp girl for now. You can always revisit later.
And you know that a Jess Hutch goodie will make you feel better…. (you know you want to!
I’m such an enabler. Hello, my name is LLA and I’m a JessHutch addict…)

Hope it gets better soon….

Aw sweetie, I’m sorry it’s been yuck. I’m glad I was part of the good parts, anyway (walking the suitcase and all…). If I were having the change-of-season blues, I’d be touchy enough that this would set me off, but I’ll still risk mentioning that you need to fix the link to your Lush-ious entry above (it has a stray quotation mark on the end). Also, I wish I could infuse you with my stereotypical natural happy-response to spring. Because it does feel good. But Showgirls and garden planning ought to be effective.
