Abstract Fiber would like to invite you to join our yarn club! We are excited to offer a 6 issue yarn club we’re calling One Skein/Two Skein. Every other month we’ll send you a new exclusive yarn color and pattern. We’ll do some solid colors, some colorways and will introduce some new luxurious yarns too. Each pattern will have flexibility for expansion, for example companion pieces, or multiple size and style options. You’ll have the option to buy extra skeins just when you want them. Spinners, we’ll have a fiber option for you too! For 2013, some of the colors have been chosen and we have four fabulous designers (Donna Arney, Sivia Harding, Judy Becker, and Kristin Spurkland) on board so far. Check out all the details at AbstractFiber.com
Do you know people who wake up at 3:00 AM the day after Thanksgiving for those killer Black Friday deals? How do they do it! I'm recovering from all the cleaning and cooking and cleaning (again) from the day before. Heck, my stomach is still digesting pumpkin pie at 3:00 in the morning! Hats off to those Black Friday die hards. Like last year, I'm stayin in my pj's and grabbing those killer Cyber Monday deals. This year, I got my gift giving budget's back and trust me, I will squeeze it to the max. Rumor has it that Bar-Maids has another to-die for Cyber Monday special. Did you know that when you purchase a Sampler Pak from Bar-Maids you get a 15% off coupon? The samplers alone make perfect stocking stuffers, but the extra 15% means I am prepared. Don't wait! After purchasing the Sampler Pack, with coupon code in hand, my Bar-Maids cyber monday deal is a steal.
