I think I really need to buy a red scarf from you sometime. The yarns sound so soft and delightful.

Re: Sherri G,
Thanks! Since Charlie started up the workshop, I am a lot busier than I used to be, with less time online. Then the yarns... I can't resist working up scarves and hats and things, even though it seriously stresses the 'trigger finger' currently plaguing my left hand.

Re: Pat B,
I had the impression the organization is 5 guys sharing a flip-phone. 
You'd love some of these yarns, they are so nice to work with! I have heard that some hospitals that accept things like hats for babies are no longer accepting anything made with Red Heart because of how it's made, though I couldn't tell you exactly what the problem is with it. Something to do with plastic, perhaps.

Re: Ciel
It would be better if the hold musak wasn't so awful.
While you're dreaming of fine soft yarns, dream of quiviut. It's the under-coat of musk oxen, supremely soft and maybe the most expensive of yarns! Not in my collection yet.

Re: Sea Gypsy,
As today's post tells, things are looking up for the online school. This is a great relief as dealing with the family is stressful. I'm friends with the student's mom, but it's her dad--a bully and control freak with a charming exterior--who has the reins firmly in hand, and I don't much like dealing with him and his games.

Perhaps their bumbling and keeping you on hold is an indicator of why
someone needs a learning coach. They don't seem to be a fine example of how to git 'er done. Kudos to you for sticking with it. The yarn inventory sounds gorgeous.

I commend you on your patience. I cannot stand being put on hold on the phone. It drives me up the wall. Your yarn part is fascinating. I would just love to see and feel what you have. I will dream tonight that I am in a bed of fine wool yarn.

A shame people can't get their acts together to add you as a learning coach. I found the yarn portion fascinating as well.
