Unlike some of my knitting friends, I am not an online yarn shopper. I just can&#8217;t get over the obstacle of needing to see the color(s) and feel the texture of yarn before I&#8217;m even tempted to buy it.

I read <a href=\"http:\/\/threefates.wordpress.com\/\">her blog<\/a>, and I entered her blogiversary contest and won a free skein! Lucky me.
