Ladies, I am so happy I am in the best of company.

Here is my latest epiphany: I pay 1k for a giant silk twill or shawl but love 90 silk twills best for color and design. Well, now, I am going to buy two identical 90s, wear them together and I have the best of both worlds for under 1k. I have just bought two Phoenix 90s as my first experiment into insanity and need another Petite Duc. My two Bateauxs, even though different cws, will work together.

Lucy.....got some 'splainin' to do........

I just got my first major run in a shawl and it has destroyed me. Dumb but true. Silk twill is so much heartier.

This is both sweet/resourceful and completely pathetic:

When you know you're not getting a big orange box for Christmas (because your husband looks you in the eye and says, "It's JUST NOT HAPPENING.") so you put your new-ish purse back in its box and tie it with the ribbon and put it under the tree and pretend it's a surprise gift.

This sounds like a plan and I am glad the 90 cm silks are getting some love again. They ARE magnificent. Christmas hugs :smile1:

Yes! Do this, sparklelisab! You'll love it! First time I did that, my SA was thinking I was turning crazy, and then she told me that some people did that too, and sew two 90 together. Which I could not do, I'm horrible in sewing... But 2 together, same design same cw, I LOVE!

When my generous mother brings over a Christmas envelope early and I go into the bathroom before she leaves to call my SA! Sick puppy!

Hahaaa oh honey, I hear you--not sure whether to really laugh, or weep on the inside.

My DH claims he did not buy me silk because I buy "everything" I want. Can you spell "dumb" H U S B A N D. Spelled with love of course.
