    This reminds me of going to tattoo conventions. I always wanna get more stuff then I actually end up getting 🤣 those conventions are always so crowded.

    In the "olden days" we drank from a percolator. Talk about wonderful coffee! Oh, those were the days!!

    I always overestimate or underestimate the time I need to do things like that. Seems like when I plan to a T it just messes me up even more! I was afraid you had a bad day because I kept waiting for you to post a video. I hate you had such a rough day but glad you got to enjoy some of it! Wish there were local yarn shops near me, I’m gonna have to dig and just find one I can go check out. Rural living means no shops like that 😭 I’ve had a messed up week so I’ve missed several of your lives but I always try to watch them after the fact I just haven’t been able to get much done lately. Ugh is something in retrograde 😜

    Too funny! I do a quilt shop in my area in October. I have the same thing happen to me without the coffee stops. There's never enough time, especially since a couple of them sell yarn too. I knit, so I have to look! Planning early helps. Enjoy your personal yarn and coffee shop hop! It sounds like fun.

    Absolutely Amazing . I am quite envious, as we only have one yarn shop in our town and No Hot Pink yarns :( Mostly buying yarn online and that's fine, but really miss out on 'handling' all of the wonderful fibers. Thanks for sharing your shop-hop. Luv the yarn dungeon, btw

    That's too bad that it didn't go as planned, but I'm glad you made the most of it! I have a weird compliment. This video was riveting and fun in the way that I imagine horror fans feel about that genre. I know horror is one of your fave things so I thought you might like to know that in my brain you're almost kinda starring in your own horror movie here. XD Something like, "Empty Bins: A Crocheter's Nightmare." IDK. Anyway great video and see you at the live!

      Maybe I should start doing a "My favorite comment of the week" because this wins! I can see the movie now, "Empty bins everywhere, with no stash yarn in sight." LOL! Thanks for the laugh!🎃

    Meanwhile, there isn't a one yarn shop in my medium-sized town, and I haven't heard of any yarn shops to exist in the rest of the county. (The only yarn shop in my town folded at Christmas.)
    Shops that sell everything else may have a small shelf of a limited selection of basic yarns and Lidl's brother, Aldi has yarn events from time to time, never selling the same colourways twice. Only the yarn events may have cakes, but no more than two options. So, while I try to encourage the shops to keep selling yarn, I buy most of mine online.
