Do you believe ... ?

I visited The Loopy Ewe in person and all I got was a circular needle?! It's true ... sort of. I had 20 minutes to spare on Saturday during our Fort Collins visit, so I ran in and bought some size 3 needles because I brought 4s but didn't like the Hitchhiker I had started with them.


While it was a bit sad to leave without yarn, I meant to go back on Monday or Tuesday to browse and pet yarn, but there were just too many other things to do during our short visit.

Once I was home, I found that I really like the sharpness of the HiyaHiya circular I bought, and thought it would be a good idea if I ordered a couple more sizes and cable lengths. I had a little trouble with the online cart, so I called The Loopy Ewe to place my order. Lynn was so helpful and pleasant to talk to (just like all of the Loopy Elves) that when she asked if that was it for my order, several skeins of Julie Spins MCN also fell into my cart. I'm so happy to be a Wayfarer and have No Regrets.



I'm also quite pleased to have purchased new yarn while still spending maximum time with my family. Win - Win!

    That is definitely a Win-Win! I hope those lovely skeins are going to become something for you - especially No Regrets. Those colors are just so darned happy!

    I am dismayed at your restraint while in the store but my faith in you is restored by that yarn you bought over the phone! Gorgeous!

    Gorgeous yarn! I can't believe I didn't stop at Loopy Ewe while visiting Fort Collins several years back. Must get my daughter to bring us back again!

    Your Hitchhiker looks great!

    Sounds like, in the end, you got the best of both worlds. :-)

    Loopy steered you in the right direction!The yarns are fabulous! I love my HiyaHiya needle set. I've used no other needles since their purchase.

    Beautiful! I happened to have bought a skein in Bermuda (don't remember the brand) to try my first Hitchhiker!
