Useful Information, Knitters...

Y'all may know that my LYS (local yarn store) is Ewe Knit - a Toronto-based boutique that is insanely well-stocked (esp. given its size) and beautiful to boot. FYI, there's also a blog which is regularly updated and filled to the brim with yarn-porn photos.

What I didn't know, till I read today's blog post, is that the store ships yarn all over the place - and it does so at very reasonable rates (the Kristin gold standard of good vendors, as I'm sure you all know).

Moreover, they're having a special, in-store sale on Thursday - 10 per cent off everything except books and mags - and 10% off 6 gorgeous sock yarns online.

Alas, no one's comping me to tell you this - though I'll happily take some free yarn if anyone connected is reading :-) The alternative is that I'll end up buying sock yarn on Halloween which, now that I knit socks that everyone steals, will no doubt come in handy.

Here are a couple of choices that seem very promising:

Sweet Georgia Tough Love

Madeline Tosh Sock - I am totally addicted to this brand...
Whatcha think?
