If You Don't Ask....

Today I went with Aileen to Loop Yarn, A FABULOUS LYS, here in Philadelphia. They were celebrating their second birthday. They had some yummy cupcakes and cookies and yarn on sale (have to LOVE that), lots of people mulling around, sleeping babies and people knitting, of course. the owner remembered who I was, which surprised me since I had only been there once before. impressive enough. I guess since I am one of those types that asks for the odd non-wool and has to replace everything in a pattern you'd kind of remember. After being there a while though, I finally got up enough courage to ask for a donation/contribution for the Knitter's Virtual Vacation Swap. I figured the worst he could say is no. He didn't. He said to give him a call after he goes to the trade show and he would be more than happy to give a donation for the swap and that he loved the idea for the swap!!

It never hurts to ask your favorite LYS....

PS I will take pictures of my goodies tomorrow and I got some good ones but they do include somethings for my spoilees... I did get a bunch of Blue Sky Alpaca cotton, some Alchemy bamboo and some very lovely pink and cream cotton that was on sale :-)
