If you've been following the saga, I ordered yarn for another Stitch Diva sweater on November 11th. Then on the 18th, I got an email that the yarn was backordered and would be mailed whenever it came in from the manufacturer. I sent a reply asking for the order to be canceled and my money refunded. I waited until the 30th for a reply and sent another email asking for a refund. Today, would be one month since ordering and still no yarn and no refund. However, I did call the store Tuesday. I talked with a polite, but less than competent employee, who promised to cancel it and refund my money. The money has not been refunded yet, but I'll give it another day or two before calling again.
On December 7th, I ordered some yarn for some x-mas knitting. It arrived yesterday! That's a day earlier than it was supposed to.
Isn't it pretty?! Each ball should be enough for one pair of Fetchings.
The moral of the story: Yarnmarket.com is awesome. Flyingfingers.com is beyond horrible.
But before I really get into churning out the Fetchings, I first need to finish Kevin's gloves.
I'm very close to being done. And that picture makes it look like I'm closer than I am. But silly me, closed off the middle and ring fingers on the first glove without making Kevin try it on, and the fit is off. So I made adjustments to the second glove, if those are good, I'll undo the fingers on glove 1 and extend them as necessary.

And I will try and keep that in mind. I also really like yarn&fiber company but I am biased since they are my LYS :-)

Bummer! When I started knitting, Flyingfingers.com was my fave shop. Then I discovered Elann.com. I'm sad to hear that FF has gone downhill.
