I am so Diabolical!
I have a plan. A plan to enlist you all in my enabling activities!!! Mwaa ha ha ! See, I have a couple copies of this lovely, knitterly book by Debbie Macomber to give away. Three of them, (that is if the third person doesn't mind waiting until after I've read it!!!) I may even throw a skein of sock yarn in your package if I get some really good ideas! (Winner will be by random drawings - Um, how about next Wednesday?)
If you would like one of these copies of Back on Blossom Street, leave me a comment with your favorite place to shop online (yarn, patterns, ideas, or just for something wonderful!) I will add them to my shopping bookmarks and there will be even more enabling!!!
Then, next, I'm going to email Chaos and you know what happens then! He makes Chris post it on her blog and then, hopefully all of her lovely readers will come over here and help me to enable the shoppers!!!
I am so diabolical!
(also, 52 days!)

You. Are. Evil.
I too have the book...but I love this shopping site: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=69874
She makes bags, jewelry, etc., out of "found" or recycled items. Very fun. I have a couple of her handbags, and they're wonderful.

Fun!
My new favorite place shop is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5061166
I mean, how cute are minature food stitch markers! i just bought the ice cream cones, and I custom ordered a set that will be "movie foods" for my Knitflix swap pal.

I have only bought online a couple of times and had great service from kpixie. I also liked the giant sale earlier in the spring from knithappens.net.
I'd have to agree to Crown Mountain Farms, their yarns and rovings are beautiful and they ship super fast. I love A Piece of Vermont for the same reasons. Of course I have to add www.yarn4socks.com 'cause that's where I work! ; )
My very favorite place to shop online is The Loopy Ewe. The customer service can't be beat.

I don't shop much online except maybe at limenviolet's store. I am more of a hands on, feel, try on, snuggle with kinda gal
I've had good luck with Albris Used Books (some of the more popular used knitting books are available at a huge discount). As far as yarn buying goes I LOVE Two Swans Yarn (great customer service, though limited yarn types) and the variety at Simply Sock yarns is hard to beat.
I love eBay and etsy. I also really like http://www.littleknits.com/ and http://www.mypollywogs.com/ :)
I have this for you (all)
http://www.rohrspatzundwollmeise.de/flash_content/rohrspatzundwollmeise.html
they send all over the world :-)
Beautiful scarf!

Are you sure that you want my list? My etsy list is really long. Plus if I told you my new favorite etsy shop, you will buy all of her yarn and I won't get any..... :(
But Sheri at The Loopy Ewe is great as is Connie at Pick-Up Sticks Canada. Crown Mountain has some great fiber to spin your own sock yarn.
But if you really want a list of some of my favorite etsy vendors, I can send them to you by email. Of course, I could send you some more yarn if I could bear to part with any any more.

My favorite online place, other than elann is www.blackberry-ridge.com.

Wow, hard to narrow it down. I online shop A LOT. Mostly because I like getting things in the mail. (Which is why I also recently joined Swap-bot.)
Fearless Fibers over at Etsy has fabulous, reasonable sock yarn.
garnstudio.com has the best free patterns (I guess that's not really
shopping).http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5068641
Is a great soap shop from the knittingPhilistine
And I love littleknits.com. The service is impeccable (On Tuesday,yarnhog just posted a review of how good the service is.)

I like The Wool Company
http://www.thewoolcompany.com/
They are a New Zealand company and have great possum / wool mixes, as well as lovely merino (and some pricey but really nice clothing items).
The down side of this firm is that they are are not always the best at letting customers know if there are problems with stock. But their wool is totally worth these small hassles!

Bert says I have to behave and help you use your current stash. In that case, Elanns is great because there are so many wonderful free downloadable patterns. But -
Chief says shop till you drop. Go to Webs. They're having a big sale until May 30.

I love shopping on etsy - I get such great inspiration from the wonderful and beautiful things you can find just browsing! I always find some new and innovative crafty things to add to my stash.

You are so naughty! You already caused my downfall once this month, you know! :-)
Anyway, I'll still play. Here's mya fave place. She's got a great "yarn of the month club."

For hand dyed yarn, I go see Adam over at yarnnerd.com. I have ordered from him a few times and he is awesome and his yarn is wonderful!

I like WEBS (www.yarn.com) for their excellent sales and for gorgeous handpainted sock yarn, check out www.zenstring.com.
I haven't read that one yet so I'm in! I shop at VictoryRanch.com (it's located in Mora, New Mexico) when I want to really spoil myself with some alpaca yarn and I also like Yarnzilla.com (super fast shipping as they are located in my state) and my latest obsession is TheLoopyEwe.com. Hmm. Wonder who turned me on to them??
Hope you didn't freeze this weekend!
Check out my blog, I've set up an exchange that I think you might like. :-)

Oooh, didn't know DM had a new Blossom book out. : )
I may be too late, but here are a few good links.
I go to Entrelac all the time for my stitch markers. Or get cute knitterly notecards from Knitterella.
Also Threadless? Crazy, funny, or weird T-shirts, $10 sale right now. : )
