| Oh, go ahead, just rub it in Susan. I weep whenever I get their emails because I'm on the west coast. I love to order from them, but since they upped the minimum order to $40 I don't order as often. I know, $40 doesn't sound like much, but it goes a long way when they have such great deals. I'd love to go to one of their sales, though. Are they near you? |

| Six bucks for a bag of yarn-those prices do look good! |

| Smiley's is actually about 15 minutes from my dad's house (60 miles from mine) but I never seem to get to the store. Also about 20 minutes from work by car but I take public transportation so it's not convenient. My schedule and theirs never match anyway. Last November at their Manhattan sale I spent about $60 and came home with a tall, stretchy, kitchen garbage bag full of stuff (I still haven't used it all). This year I will be going on Friday since I will be at a technology conference 3 blocks away which just happens to be the same one I attended last year before I went to the sale. I got some nice Red Heart Baby Soft last year in colors I never saw in a store, some Lion Brand Wool Ease, cream colored microfiber, and a huge bag of just plain white sport yarn since it's always good for baby things, plus a few other miscellaneous colors/weights, etc. After shopping, I'll struggle with the bag to get to Grand Central and then take the train home but it will be worth it! Donna, since they've raised their minimum I am sure there are plenty of others near you who knit and crochet who don't even know about Smiley's. Perhaps you could coordinate orders a few times a year. |

| Alas, Susan, there were only two people among my circle of friends and family who crocheted. My mother, who had to completely give it up a couple of years ago due to arthritis, and a lady at church, who passed away last month. That is why I am "revered" for my handmade goodies, LOL. I have no competition. |

| I don't want you to be jealous but the best bargain of the sale was Moda Dea Dream in a soft lavendar - 10 skeins to a package for $10. Michaels is running a sale now at 2 for $8 (reg. $5.99 each) so I know I really got a bargain. This is for me! Now I only need to put aside other projects and crochet for myself. I also got some Red Heart Symphony for a scarf for the Xmas grab bag. 3 skeins for $4. Miscellaneous sport yarn, baby yarn, etc. Stayed in control and only spent $34. |

| Susan, I'm glad you found something "Dreamy" just for you. You deserve it. But I think you could have lost control just a bit. After all, how often does this opportunity roll around? Aren't these special sales annual? Either way, enjoy, and of course, post pictures. |

| yes, they are annual sales but I don't really have anymore room in the closet to store more. They often have sales at their store so if I get the urge, I'll need to coordinate a visit to my dad's house before/after a visit to Smiley's! The Dream yarn is so soft, I now need to think about what I want to make...probably a shawl but this will have to wait until I finish a few Xmas gifts and a baby blanket for January. |
