Immediately after my unfortunate discovery that running out of yarn for Icarus was imminent, I went online to Little Knits, which provided me with the original yarn for the project. I was relieved to see that the right color was available and immediately ordered another skein (for 14 lousy rows--I squeezed one more row out of the yarn I had left). With only three weeks left to finish, time is--shall we say--of the essence, so I added a note explaining the situation and expressing my desperation. This was after 5 pm. 45 minutes later, I checked my email and found a message from Sue, the owner of Little Knits, who has been of so much help to me in the past. She just wanted to let me know that she had already sent my order out to UPS and that I would have it no later than Friday. This was Tuesday evening, and no, I didn't pay for express shipping! As usual, Little Knits came through for me with flying colors. With a little luck and some help from UPS, I should be back on track in no time.
Thanks, Sue!
[Oh, and, um, just in case you were wondering how I dealt with the obvious emotional trauma of running out of yarn, there will be several large boxes of yarn arriving on my doorstep shortly. And maybe some books. Whoops.]

I LOVE the way you deal with emotional trauma!
The new knitting digs look fantastic by the way.
Well of course you had to do a little retail yarn therapy. As far as I can tell there was no other way.
Yeah Sue!!!
It's always better to order more, you get a better price that way!
what a relief- soon there will be power knitting
Little Knits is great. I've ordered from them before and they've got some great prices! Great customer service too. Glad to hear you were able to get enough to finish!
Retail therapy does do wonders, doesn't it?
Hooray! Coping skills are very important.. I can't wait to see your medicine.
Yeah for retail therapy! :)
You definitely need a little fiber replenishment therapy after that sort of trauma!

hey, a girl has to do what a girl has to do!
