<div class="content-double"><b>Credit Card Chargebacks hurt businesses</b><br><br>It's interesting to look at how far we've come in methods to pay our bills. From only paying cash, to opening checking accounts, then onto credit cards and now automatic online payments. While some of these changes have made some things very convenient for some, for others the learning curve has been frustrating. These days, in light of all the credit card fraud, it is even now more important to be able to log onto your credit card accounts and credit history to protect the good rating we've worked so hard for. <br><br>
I would like to share something many people don't know. Credit card companies assure us we will not incur any fraudulant charges on our credit cards. They are very reassuring about this. "We will take care of this" is their response. And we go to bed at night thinking the credit card company is taking care of us. But, do you know that that fruadulent charges are not absorbed by the credit card companies? It is the business that accepted the credit card that takes the loss. The credit card company turns around and takes it back from the company, who in good faith, accepted the credit card. <br><br>
There are 3 key elements we, as businesses who accept cards, check before we process internet orders. The street, zip and security code must all give us a "Y" (Yes)match to what the credit card company has on file. If it gives us back a "N", it is up to us to decide whether we want to ship product. But even if it is a positive match, there is no guarantee that the credit card company can't charge it back 3 months later. <br><br>
And if someone walks into a business, there is no way to confirm that card is good at all, unless id is checked.
<br><br>
The point of my commentary? I want all card holders to know who is really taking the loss when credit card accounts are used fraudlently.

As the weather warms, gardeners head outside, walkers walk, runners join runs, and things "somewhat" calm down here in the store. What that means for Henry and I is catching up on cleanup work, and playing with some of our amazing yarns! This picture below is a <a href="http://foxslane.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-crochet-ric-rac.html" target="_blank">crochet ric rac</a> that I found while snooping around the internet. My sample I did with bulky yarn and a 6mm crochet hook. It was fast. What a cute edging! (the yarn is <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/feza-fanatic-yarn.html" target="_blank">Feza Fanatic.</a></div>

The impetus for this is that <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/noni-patterns.html" target="_blank">Noni Bags</a> is putting all their hardware into kits. What that means is you don't have to be confused with all the bits and pieces, we can make our web page so much cleaner. <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/noni-patterns.html" target="_blank">Noni Bags</a> uses extremely high quality hardware. There is no cut-rate quality here! We can special order any kit we don't have in stock. Just let us know!!<br />
<br />
Henry has been working too. If you read our newsletter, you probably saw that the <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/lornas-laces-shepherd-sock-yarn.html" target="_blank">Lorna's Laces Sock page</a> is new and improved! Henry not only does the web site, he also works shipping your orders and helping you when you call or come into the store.<br />

Our problem is that we have sooooo many needles! We want you to be able to see at a glance what we have, without your eyes crossing! So we continue to try to improve those layouts.<br />

This is rather typical of some of my days, unless I am buried in paperwork, which is the majority of the time. Ah the wonderful life of a small business owner!! <br />
This is my favorite <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/blocking-supplies.html" target="_blank">blocking board</a>, and sometimes it is on my kitchen table for weeks to a month or two. In a dedicated work room, I would never put it up.<br />
Any-hoo......what you see is a project and many swatches. The dark chocolate is a vest I am working on using my standard gauge knitting machine (<a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/silver-reed-sk280-knitting-machine.html" target="_blank">SK280</a> or <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/silver-reed-sk840-knitting-machine.html" target="_blank">SK840</a>). This is the back. I like to layer and vests keep my shoulders warm, while allowing my arms movement. The yarn is <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/blocking-supplies.html" target="_blank">Cascade's Heritage Silk</a>, which is a fingering weight yarn. Ideal for the standard gauge knitting machine. Also very very popular with hand knitters for lace shawls and crochet projects.<br />

The green swatch is a yarn we are looking into stocking. We are looking for a nice yarn that isn't too expensive, but isn't poor quality either, that gets 4 sts per inch. My test is successful so far.</div>

The blue swatch is our <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/kertzer-marble-chunky-yarn.html" target="_blank">Marble Chunky</a>. A low cost acrylic yarn that even the natural fiber lovers pause and handle. The samples on display are really nice, and it has been a great seller. With PSU in our back yard, the students are on a yarn budget and Marble Chunky is perfect. It normally gets 3.5sts per inch. but it is so soft, I wondered how it would do at 4 sts per inch. I would say it was a successful test. As you can see it knits to 4 sts on a US#9 needle. The resulting fabric was very stable. After steam blocking (its acrylic, do so carefully), it softened really nice. This is PERFECT for <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/knitted-cardigan-patterns.html" target="_blank">long cardigans</a>, <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/knitted-ladies-tunic-patterns.html" target="_blank">hoodies</a>, jackets, and such like that.</div>

The final swatches on my blocking board is <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/universal-bamboo-pop.html" target="_blank">Universal's Bamboo Pop</a>. half cotton, half bamboo. Laura did us a crochet swatch sampler, and I did a knitting swatch. I was curious, because it is so soft, how it would do in a pattern. Would it retain the stitch, or would it just melt. I was very happy to see that it did very good!!</div>

We get a lot of yarn to sample up every month. Yarn that is given to us to see if we like and if it will fit well into our selection. Or yarn we did get in that needs a sample swatch for the shelf. Needless to say, most of my knitting is sampling yarn. A few weeks ago, as I was heading a few hours north to spend the weekend with a friend, I grabbed one of these yarns. Then poked around my stash of needles trying to find a needle, and wondering how many needles I should take just in case that size didn't work.<br />
<br />
Now I have never been a fan of interchangeables. Never liked their join. And to point out my stubbornness, never tried the addi clicks for just that reason. "this is ridiculous" went through my mind. I grabbed the "creme de la creme" of interchangeables, the addi clicks. and just not any set, I went for the Lace set. <br />
Long needle, extreeeeemely smooth needle, with a nice point. <br />
<br />
Oh. My. Goshhhh!<br />
<br />
I do have some turbos in my stash, and I have some lace needles in my stash, but this particular set is a nickel plated lace needle. The best of both worlds. and the join? what join? Simply does not exist. and what a beautifully soft cable! My stash contains at least a couple needles of every needle we sell, as well as needles given to me that we don't sell. But my heart has been given away to the addi nickel plated lace needle.<br />
<br />
....and ....Mother's Day is coming....sshhhh....don't tell my Mom, but I know exactly what to get her this year!!<br />
<br />
So if you have someone who has been good to you. This is an amazing gift!! Or if your children are asking . . . (hint, hint) ... tell them to go in together and get you this gift!<br />

<br />
and onto to technology!<br />
Facebook, Ravelry, Pinterest, Twitter, blogs, enewsletters, forums and more. I run around in circles trying to decide which is the best method to to keep you informed, and to shy away from methods that just irritate. The one thing about all these methods is that unlike junk mail, you can unsubscribe or simply just not subscribe at all! <br />
<br />
Angelika's Yarn Store is on all of the above. Some I'm more active on than others, but I'm trying!<br />
<br />
I'm probably the most active on Facebook. I can post really simple and fast each morning. It's an easy read for you as you relax at night, or drink coffee in the morning. You can find me at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/a.Yarn.Store?ref=hl">http://www.facebook.com/a.Yarn.Store</a><br />
<br />
Pinterest ( <a href="http://pinterest.com/yarnstore/">http://pinterest.com/yarnstore/</a> ) is newer for us. I'm still getting a routine to post there. But I do enjoy all the cool projects (knitting, crochet, gardening, food) that I can browse.<br />
<br />
Ravelry is a great resource if I am looking for something specific. You can find me there at<br />

Ever get stuck in a rut with a stitch? I did. And I love it! This is a scarf I crocheted in a silk blend. Loved it so much I sampled it in a tonal acrylic yarn, then in a Alpaca & Merino Blend, and finally in a Mohair Silk Lace (my personal favorite!) <br /><br />This pattern will be included in my next newsletter.

New yarns continue to arrive. <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/knitonecrochettoo-seda-rustica-yarn.html">Seda Rustica</a> is only about a year old and from one of the nicest yarn companies around, Knit One, Crochet Too. I debated for a year, and finally gave in. It was selling out of the freight box before we even found a home on a shelf for it.<br />
A softer than velvet yarn with a rustic look. Seda Rustica just begs to be cuddled and squeezed and never disappoints with a composition of silk and baby llama. The colors are antique and mix with each other very well.<br />
Composition: 70% Silk, 30% Baby Llama<br />
Yardage: 218 yards<br />
Weight: Medium (4)<br />

Ready to Browse Some Mohair?<br />
Just enough mohair to shake a needle (or hook) at on our newly created <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/yarn-store-mohair.html">Mohair Magic</a> web page.<br />
There's always something to be said about mohair. This fiber has its ups and downs but the finished product should always be luxurious and warm. Most of our mohair is made from kid seta (aquired from younger goats) so the "hairs" are much softer and are less likely cause discomfort when right next to the skin. Mohair can be knit on larger needles to create a drapey, open garment that knits up fast yet is just as warm because the yarn's halo will close in the gaps. Mohair works great with other yarns as well. Many of our lines are spun with wool or silk to create extra warmth or sheen but any knitter can knit a strand of mohair with another, complimenting yarn. For example, Angelika knit a strand of mohair with a strand of alpaca to use on a hat's brim!</td></tr>

Angel, one of our very enthusiastic customers, knits for friends, family and herself. Yesterday Angel came in with this super neon fingerless cable mitts.

This fall I was out of control! Bought wayyyy too many new yarns. This is the 3rd week of boxes of boxes of boxes of new yarn, new colors and new inspiration. Henry and I have spent hours at the key board and at our needles.

Everyone who knows me, knows I have a real weak spot when it comes to mohair. I love the softness, I love it in lace, or in a simple stockinet stitch. This mohair, <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/sandnes-silk-mohair-yarn.html" target="_blank">Sandnes Silk Mohair</a>, from Sweden knits up fast and fluffy on a US#9! Not to mention the generous 309 yards on every ball. Order now and be ready before the cold sets in. But realistically it won't take long to make up a scarf, hat or cardi out of this heavy worsted size yarn.

We've been looking for an sweetly priced 100% bamboo and we found it in<a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/feza-nirvana-bamboo-yarn.html" target="_blank"> Feza Nirvana 100% Bamboo</a>. This super soft sport/DK weight yarn is soft and very drape-able. So soft, how about a small receiving blanket for the newborn? It is sure to be a favorite with Mom. Allergic to wool? but prefer natural fibers? This is your answer!

Easy-to-knit Christmas stocking kits include instructions for the toe to point left or right. Kits include Nature Spun 100% wool yarn, a full-color chart to use while knitting the design, and an alphabet. All embellishments are included.
Size: Approximately 6.5" wide by 21" long
All you need is your Size 5 straight knitting needles. These kits can also be knit on circular needles. Some Christmas stockings may need a bit of fabric glue and some may also need a beading needle, a tapestry needle and the knitting could be easier with the use of bobbins.
Finished Stockings are, on the average, 23-34 inches long. Length is affected by your knitting gauge and some stockings' patterns are just a bit longer. But they normally average 23-24" long.<br />
This is a new line from Elegant Heirlooms. A simpler project. See their <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/christmas-stocking-kits.html" target="_blank">Googleheim </a>selection of Christmas Stockings.</td></tr>

Light up someone's life with neon! <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/universal-uptown-worsted-yarn.html" target="_blank">Universal's Uptown Worsted</a> now comes in shades of neon. Just in time for winter hats and children's cardie's. Just a touch goes a long way!! We've waited a long time for neon to come back in style. There was a whole generation of children who didn't have it. and now they are telling their Mom's and G-Mom's that's their favorite color! If you can't stand the brightness, it is ideal for small amounts of fairisle, thin stripes and trim. It is 100% acrylic, but its not the same as it was years ago. It is actually quite soft and softens with wear. We have a cabled vest out of <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/universal-uptown-worsted-yarn.html" target="_blank">Uptown Worsted</a> (and another in <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/universal-uptown-dk-yarn.html" target="_blank">Uptown DK</a>) hanging in the store.

This machine is a great machine that is perfect for new machine knitters, and advanced machine knitters. The simplicity of it makes it a real joy to work with. Enjoy! (and yes, that is me!)<br />

Here are two really great ideas for the gift giving season coming up soon! We carry Cascade's Magnum and soon to arrive is Rowan's Big Wool. Both pages will be up on line soon, but feel free to <a href="mailto:salesdesk@yarn-store.com" target="_blank">email us</a> and we can get your order put together for you. The <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/knitted-childrens-patterns.html" target="_blank">Child's Super Bulky Top Down Coat and the Snowboarder Hats </a>for the whole family are super fast knit projects!!<br />

Another adorable gift giving project is our child's hooded vest. Done in the bulky yarn <a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/kertzer-marble-chunky-yarn.html" target="_blank">Marble Chunky</a>, the two smallest sizes take only 1 ball, and the other 4 larger sizes take only 2 balls.</div>

It's a hot day in Portland today. We hit 102 degrees and set a new record. But that didn't slow down visitors to Angelika's Yarn Store. Where there is a will, there will be a way! I'm working on a crochet swim suit cover from the Summer/August 2012 issue of Interweave Crochet. It's fast, it's light and it's easy. The one in the magazine was done in Cascade's Cotton Rich, but I'm doing mine in<a href="http://www.yarn-store.com/cascade-ultra-pima-yarn.html" target="_blank"> Cascade's Ultra Pima.</a> And mine will be much prettier!!! LOL </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(ps: the Ultra Pima page is slated for a massive face lift. If you see a color on<a href="http://cascadeyarns.com/cascade-UltraPima.asp" target="_blank"> Cascade's Ultra Pima page</a>, but not on ours, email me to place your order!!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Take care and we'll talk again soon!</div>
