Looks like the cheeseheads have taken over. I was surprised to see so many. I am from southern Wisconsin too, only about 35 minutes drive west of Madison. It's a tiny little town by most means, right along Hwy. 14. You blink,we're gone !!!! We're not even shown on some maps. We've had rain 2 days and it is really damp and gloomy. Sure hope the snow goes a different direction. They are talking flooding here and we're only a couple miles or so from the Wisconsin River.
I HAVE NEVER FELTED BUT HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY. i SELDOM GET TO YARN SHOPS SO ORDER FROM HERRSCHNERR'S OR SMILEYS.SMILEY'S HAS REALLY GREAT DEALS BUT REQUIRE A MINIMUN ORDER OF $50,
Yes, I have gone to Herrschnerr's warehouse sales many times and spent MANY hundreds of $$$$$.The very first time I went ,there were NO CARTS. You had these big red bins to fill and you couldn't carry them so just pushed them along the floor in front of you with your foot. I filled 3 of them that day.Now they have carts but they are quite hard to get unless you are there when they unlock the door.I also send for many things. In fact, just had 3 orders recently. I am kind of upset with them ( and myself ) right now. I am knitting myself a hooded sweater from chenille. I might be running short on the yarn so ordered some more last month only to find it is backordered til May !! Now I am wondering if I will even get it???It is Lion Brand so I went on the LB web site today to look for it and they don't even carry it anymore. So I might be stuck with a sweater with only one sleeve, no hood, and no pockets !!! But boy, I sure hope not.
