has any individual seen this pattern? I mean, for sale, out in the wild? Mary P. was outbid — sniped, truly — by just a smidgen when this was up for auction last week as well as she’s been mourning it ever since. Leave a comment or decrease an email if you have one you’re ready to sell/trade.
I understand it’s difficult to tell from the photo — as well as while we’re here, can I just rant about sellers who show teeny-tiny photos of patterns? A hint: if you can hold the actual item as much as the computer screen, you can run the picture of it full SIZE, people — however it looks amazing. I’d like for Mary P. to discover a copy so she can make it as well as send me the picture.
And in a in shape of selflessness (because now you’re all going to outbid me!) may I remind everybody once again about eBay’s preferred browse feature? When a browse comes up empty, save it, as well as then eBay will email you when your holy grail shows up again. At the extremely least, getting a lots emails from eBay everyday will test your wish for whatever the product is — I’ve canceled a lot more than a few saved searches when I realized that my nuisance at taking care of the email was a lot more than my wish for the item. (You can likewise get eBay searches with RSS, however I haven’t done that yet. most likely should!) saved searches are a lot of beneficial when you save a extremely in-depth browse — trying to find a pair of shoes or a pattern in a specific size, material in a specific color — to ensure that you don’t squander time checking out pages of stuff that’s not rather right.
In fact, I believe being able to do Boolean or regex browsing is an vital skill in the post-eBay, post-Google age. I may just have to go volunteer to show a couple how-to-search sessions at my son’s institution … although most likely not utilizing eBay as an example!
