damn knit picks

Tonight i'm going to the knitting group. we did a name exchange for the holidays and i'm still waiting on getting my damn yarn that i ordered. and STILL waiting on needles from knit picks. i ordered them months ago. i'm very disapointed and dont think i will ever be ordering from there agian! very dissapointed. My lys from sheboygan falls (btw i LLOOOOVVVE them) Magpie's cottage gets me a package in like 5 days or so. And they are like a small lys. or as my husband calls them my dealer. lol so i hope this place gets my yarn to me fast and i hope knit picks stops being stupid... =(
