This coming Thursday in the U.S. is observed as Thanksgiving, always the fourth Thursday of November.  It seems fitting I extend my thanks to all the friends and fans of Knitivity; you all have kept me going for over 18 years now, and I truly do appreciate you for that.

Last weekend I opened the mid-month Empty-the-Bins sale over on the Blog Reader Specials page, and showed a picture of all the available yarns that were in the bins.

Many orders came in and were shipped out on Tuesday.

I can’t remember the last time I had to carry two full bins to the street to meet the mail carrier, but this load went out on Tuesday.   Surprisingly, one of my customers reported her yarns arrived on Thursday.  I’m hoping everyone else’s yarns have similarly arrived.

Anyway, after pulling all the requested yarn and accounting for all yarns on my local inventory and on the BRS page, I discovered there were almost two dozen additional yarns that were in the big group shot, but were not marked off on my inventory OR located on the BRS page.

Because none of these were marked off, I have restored all of the prodigal yarns to the Blog Reader Specials page.  And as noted at the top of the BRS page, the mid-month Empty-the-Bin sale continues through November 27 – every yarn is invoiced at 15% off, but if you claim two or more I will invoice at 20% off.  (Those with an Insider discount can use it as well.)

I hope everyone has a marvelous Thanksgiving with friends and loved ones, or in whatever way fills you with joy.  Some people like the big gatherings, and others keep it low-key.   For example, one of my daughters has gone camping for the week with her husband.  The main thing is to keep the attitude of gratitude and extend thanks for whatever is good in your life.

I had planned to dye a new collection of yarns this weekend, but I went to the clinic on Thursday for a fasting blood draw (only took 2 vials this time) and then got 3 vaccinations (flu, COVID, and TDAP). I felt fine most of Thursday, but then it sort of hit me in the evening, and I laid out most of yesterday.  Most of the day was spent researching all those unaccounted yarns and then reposting them to the BRS page, instead of preparing more new yarns.    So I’ll dye yarns this coming weekend and show them next Saturday.
