Oakleaf, you may live to regret those words!
So did anyone ever notice that alpaca garments are more drapey than wool? Alpaca fibers have less crimp than most wool, so it's less stretchy. Often, it is mixed with wool for better resilience. For any knitters, Nashua Handknits makes wonderful alpaca mix yarns.

Oh, darn...
Sudden loss of Visa continence. I bought the LAST piece of Ibex in "thistle heather" that I want and don't have. Thistle heather is my all-time favorite color. I guess no-one else liked it, because it's hanging out in the Outlet.
To keep it company, I bought something in my second favorite color: charcoal heather. (I think Ibex calls it "black marle")
Sigh. I'm pretending I bought these two thingummies for work. Professional wear and all that.
Stop me, before I buy again!!!!
(there's still a hooded Shak in thistle heather.... I don't want it, but it's in my favorite color... urg!)

Beware the outlet? A little too late for me.

I can't believe they discontinued the Woolie tank. I LOVE that thing for yoga and general light base-layer-ness.
But I only have one.

I won a $200 gift certificate from Ibex
! They have a monthly drawing for submitting product reviews on their website, and I got a call today that I won January's contest! This is the best thing I've ever won! I only wear their jerseys now, so I'm getting another one of those. I'll save the rest for later.
ETA: A really weird thing. The bells from the church I grew up attending were stolen last week. Although I'm not religious, I feel a strong connection to that church. My grandparents were married under those bells. I feel like they're part of my history. So, on Monday, I sent the church a $200 donation, in my mother's memory, because it was what I thought she'd want me to do. Just strange that that's the same amount I won from Ibex. And, the news this morning said someone was arrested for the theft, so maybe the bells will be returned.Last edited by redrhodie; 04-21-2010 at 03:17 PM.
