A Winner! A Winner!
Wednesday, January 25th, 2006<p>The votes have been tallied and we have a winner! </p><p>*drumroll*</p><p>The winner of the popular vote (by a landslide) is…</p><p>’Exhibit A’ (for want of a better name…or we could rename them ‘little flowers’…?)</p><p><img width="90" height="90" src="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/uploads/Buttons/JHB92545.jpg" style="border: 0px none ; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" alt="" /></p><p>*the crowd goes wild*</p><p>The final tally, for the curious few, was 16 votes for ‘little flowers’ and 6 votes for…well, the other one. I ordered three ‘little flowers’ earlier tonight from <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=511&entry_id=110" title="https://buttondrawer.com/home.asp" onmouseover="window.status=’https://buttondrawer.com/home.asp’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;" target="_blank">The Button Drawer</a> - a website I found through <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=512&entry_id=110" title="http://chappysmom.typepad.com/" onmouseover="window.status=’http://chappysmom.typepad.com/’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;" target="_blank">Deb aka Chappy’s Mom</a>. Thanks Deb!</p><p>However, immediately after placing my order and going to their home page to…well, to see if there were any more buttons I could order…I saw this:</p><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;">
Note: Due to year end inventory reconciliation, order shipments may be delayed.
Also during the period from 1/6/2005 thru 1/13/2005 our web
site was unavailable due to technical difficulties. We apologize for
any inconvenience this may have caused.</span></p><p><br />Okay everyone say it with me, "SH*TBALLS!" Delayed?! There cannot be a delay! This is the Olympics fer crissakes!!! Just my flippin’ luck. Hopefully I get them before the 26th of February and they aren’t sold out/backordered/lost at the back of a drawer/etc. <img width="298" height="235" src="uploads/Photos/huntingtonyarnsm2.jpg" style="border: 0px none ; float: right; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" alt="" /> </p><p>I did get my yarn which, if I do say so myself, looks pretty good. The grey is going to be the body of the sweater and the red will be the pattern. Let me know what you think!</p><p>Now I just have to receive my Addi’s which I ordered yesterday from <a target="_blank" href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=513&entry_id=110" title="http://stores.ebay.com/Yarn-World-Co-UK" onmouseover="window.status=’http://stores.ebay.com/Yarn-World-Co-UK’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;">Yarnworld on Ebay</a> (who has GREAT prices, btw) and then I can do the swatch thang ;o)</p><p>I’m really looking forward to this. Even if I don’t finish this project within the 16 day time limit I’ll have a pretty bitchin’ sweater. (I’m pretty sure I can/will finish - I may lose my job from knitting under my desk…but I’ll finish!)</p><p>Yeah, I said ‘bitchin’. ;o) I blame <a href="http://jessaluknits.yarncourtesans.com/exit.php?url_id=514&entry_id=110" title="http://nessienoodle.blogspot.com/2006/01/spt-history.html" onmouseover="window.status=’http://nessienoodle.blogspot.com/2006/01/spt-history.html’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;" target="_blank">Nessie</a>. </p><p>
