October 2019….
the saddest note, and simultaneously a celebration of years of joy - Susan Druding Owner of Crystal Palace Yarns retired and all of the yarns are now discontinued… watch for them on ebay, if i don’t beat you to it!
so i also had a few yrs of turmoil, moved in 2007 and 2008 and 2009 and 2014, and 2017 and lost soooo much.
lost yarns and projects and addresses :( … and add in 3-4 defunct laptops!
it’s enough to make you believe in astrology WINK - but i’m settled and don’t plan to move again for-eva. !!!

i’m beginning with thumbdrives to find old patterns. and will try to repost

#1 - see my store for a few.
#2 - had a wonderful collaboration with Jackie ES on HeartstringsFiberArts.com - might be some of THE Comfort Collection patterns there.

have just one or two copies of the ‘50 socks left’… write me.
