DAG. NABBIT.

i am... SO frustrated. part of my Iro 26 problem was aleviated when the lovely Jen sent me 3 skeins. however... that only furthered my obsession. i only needed 2 of the skeins for the rest of the flower basket chunky shawl... so i started teaching myself entrelac. well... now i HAVE to make an entrelac wrap for my mom, so she and my aunt can match!

so i found 7 skeins on ebay. decend price. someone kept outbidding me, but by 2 hours before the end of the auction, i was only up to $80, which for THIS yarn... is cheap!!

then, LITERALLY 2 seconds before the end of the auction, s omeone else snakes in and outbids. that is SOOOO darn frustrating.

the only other 26 that's available on ebay right now is being sold in a bag of 10, for almost $150, and while still a good price i just cant quite swing THAT.

::grumble:: silly ebay evil-folks.

(no offense, if any of YOU readers were the stealthy iro-buyer. i'm just... eh! i'm sure you can figure out how i'm doing by the general attitude of my blog lately. just one more frustration!)

I have *so* been there on the ebay front...but maybe the knitting gods will smile on you and more 26 will show up. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

ugh, that sucks. i hate when that happens. stupid ebayers. i shouldn't talk though. my stepdad is a master at it. lol but he doesn't buy yarn, so it wasn't him. ;)

I'm guilty of being a "mean bidder" on eBay, but I promise, I didn't get your Iro 26!! I hope you find some at a decent price.
