I have been all over the city searching for some much needed Anchor perlé (sewing yarn), because the reseller said they sell Anchor perlé to this and this shop. (Ouch, my poor, achy feet! Now where is that warm pig belly?)
Well, let me tell you: they don't sell them there.
I had to settle for some Anchor non-perlé, thick and difficult to work with (because threads refuse to stick together), but it still beats the Puppets perlé with it's ridiculously fugly colours hands down. The Puppets perlé that every shop sells for some strange reason. Maybe it's cheaper? I mean sure it should be for being so fugly and useless.
Anyway, I'm done with my shopping (they tried to sell me DMC "perlé", which was floppy, soft and had washed out colours) and the shop's owner offers me an Anchor Calendar that costs a fortune and tells me I can buy it 30% cheaper if I buy 10 more Anchor err... yarn.
Now... anybody and their dog knows I have no use for calendars (and if I wanted any now in late March, I would buy an empty little booklet, number the pages after the months and days and be done with it, really). So I stare at him, baffled, wondering what the hell brought that on. I mean just because I make knotted bracelets out of perlé (yarn) it doesn't mean I need a calendar or even need a calendar with pictures of a certain yarn making company.
What the hell?
I told him politely that I'm done with my shopping, but thanks anyway.
But seriously... what the hell? I have at least 3 gadgets with in-built calendars at hand... why the fuck would I need a table calendar with yarn pictures???
