My Two Cents: Products Reviews
* There is a new Chewy.com post about their canned grain free offering that my cats like: Catswell Nutrisca. See below if you are interested. It is paws up here.
*My baby blanket is a sea of yellows, golds and blues.
I won't finish this week, but I enjoy when I pull it out and knit a few rows. It is all leftover sock yarns so it is a no cost kind of knit up.
3 skeins at 4 dollars a skein.
It knits like a dream.
My shawl is going to be all 3 of these skeins knit, like Vixen, (thanks Leslie!)
into one large shawl.
I love a good score at the yarn sale!
*I'm trying Amazon Prime.
Free for 30 days.
It is so addicting to order something and have free shipping and quick arrival.

My first order was not a good experience. The used item arrived broken instead of in VERY GOOD shape as advertised.
I sent it back. I had to pay the return ship. I've asked them to refund the shipping but I have not heard back yet....

I have had 3 other experiences with them since then.
The arrival of another item was delayed due to the carrier's problem. I was disappointed, but they ended up delivering the next day on Labor Day, so that seemed like a win.
The jury is still out on Amazon Prime.
*Finally, Sweet Katherine sent me a gift card for Little Knits for my birthday. The yarn I choose was splitty and all around awful.
I felt terrible that her gift was wasteful. I wrote to Little Knits and they referred me to their supplier Knitting Fever.

I heard from Knitting Fever this morning and they are sending a replacement yarn.
Hooray.
The yarn I chose that I would advise against, strongly was:
Viking Mini Raggen sock.
I loved the colorway but when it arrived it was horrible.

Acted like lace yarn that broke and split.
So We'll see what the replacement is like.
I appreciate a company that tries to make amends.

Tried any new yarns or services lately?
How satisfied are you ?

As for Amazon, I have been a member of Amazon Prime since it started. It came free with my first Kindle and I've paid for it every year since. There have been a few disappointments but never with the items that say "Amazon Fulfilled." Those are new and sent quickly. I think you just have to watch out for the products that are from other suppliers. Four of our children also order on my Prime account and it sometimes looks like we are keeping Amazon in business.
I recently discovered Lang yarns, and I've been very satisfied. I'm glad you contacted the company. Most places know they need to make things right, and those that do, reap repeat customers.
I love, love, love the blankie and the shawl. Those are my kinds of colors!
Hugs,
Meredith
