No one happened to have it this time, but many many lovely ladies searched their stashes to find the dye lot I was looking for... the effort is lovely, and the Ravpplication I believe is priceless, even when it doesn't quite get you there.Senora Fuertehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03219423259201655544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-52142651678901599062008-04-23T13:25:00.000-04:002008-04-23T13:25:00.000-04:00Ooh, this is a fabulous conversation to be having!...Ooh, this is a fabulous conversation to be having! My favorite ravelapp (rapplication?) right now is probably the newish "yarns" tab on any given pattern page. You know the tabs at the top where you can click to see who has made it, any blog entries, and whatnot? I like snooping through the "yarns" tab to see if I can destash or sub to make casting on for something new a little less Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124793086729345984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-82228529197418135752008-04-23T02:36:00.000-04:002008-04-23T02:36:00.000-04:00You're too funny.

But I've become absurdly fond of checking the projects pages for yarns I bought just because I *had* to have them. It's so inspiring, and gives me hours of daydreaming pleasure.
