I have given up even looking at a Posh sale you know. I am sure that as a selling tactic this weekly frenzy works well for Dee and Tony, but for customer satisfaction it's a real downer. I hate seeing a yarn, planning what I might do with it, having it in my basket and then POOFFT! it's gone  It's the single most frustrating way to try to buy yarn ever!
I had one last try last night for one particular skein, but it had gone as soon as it arrived, and I really won't do it again.
Posh yarns are wonderful, but if Iever feel the urge for one again it will be via the Cariad route.
I'm looking forward to the patterns with these Fyberspates yarns too - they are a real bargain I think.

I love the yarn tho Joy and I never get attached to it in advance and if I don't win I've saved some money and there's always next week  It is pretty stressful tho and it really isn't good for my nerves cos you have to move pretty fast. Last night was crazy!!!! I quite fancied some of the new Martha but no chance

I haven't tried to buy from a posh sale since 2007 I don't think  Although recently I have looked at the preview but then been busy at seven and missed the sale 
You might have to email to ask for the patterns Joy, nothing comes in with the yarn

Thanks for that Sarah - I'll investigate.
Ali, I am the word's worst! I apply for a job, already in my mind I'm working there, I see a yarn, already I'm knitting ith it. There's no hope.
The yarns ARE lovely, but equally there are other lovely accessable yarns out there.

I know, you're right, and I do buy those as well I am just totally unable to resist gorgeous colours in sock yarn. Thank goodness I haven't got into laceweight
