Hubby is from South Texas (Laredo/San Antonio)! lol. Where are you?

We`re about 45 min. west of Nurnburg. I`m sure you visited Rothenburg. We`re about twenty minutes east of that great little town.

Didn`t know about the Opal factory. I`ll have to check that out! I have tons of German knitting mags and books. Love them for inspiration. I didn`t know there was a Kaiser factory up near Bayreuth too. We always used the one near Bamburg because it was closer for us. Need to make a trip there too. lol.

I have a German friend here that I met through Spin Off magazine when we were here last tour. I`ll ask her about the Opal factory. Went to a Spin In at her house last weekend. Much fun. About 30 German ladies and one gentleman joined us. Luckily many of them spoke English because my German is horrible even though I`ve lived more here than the States over the past 15 years. That`s sad.

Peace,

Jean, I am trying to think of where you are, and you are 45 min east of Frankfurt, right? The Opal Sock yarn folks have a factory outlet south of you....I have never been there, but I remember reading something....(heck, I remember they used to MAIL me stuff in those little mail order envelopes) and that may be worth looking at. Karstadt in Frankfurt ought to be good, and if you can go to the magazine handler, you can pick up German copies of Rebecca and (don`t remember the title) Lana Grossa magazines, and they always list stockists in their magazines.

You aren`t REALLY far from Bayreuth, are you? I MISS the Kaiser factory! Just box THAT up for me!

You holler if you need something...since you`ve been before, there`s probably not much, but if anyone misses hot peppers from South Texas, I`m your connection!

Ansbach, Germany]]> Sat, 24 Jan 2004 08:53:54 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=133629 I was checking on an order that I placed for some of the peruvian alpaca.. so I decided to view my shopping history page. boy oh boy I was in for a surprise when I saw all those orders I have placed and had to keep scrolling down, down, down to see them all, I have to admit it right here and now..I am an yarn addict, there I said it. It`s a little scary to see all that right out in front of you. But I`m not ready to get help yet so I`ll probably just keep on shoppin` (lol)
happy knitting
