Thrift Store Score!


 
First off let me share my thrift store yarn score!!!  $9!!  Ka-Ching!   And it is full of the good stuff.  
Some Knot Picks, sock yarn, and even some angora!  I was riding on a high when I brought all this 
home.




Here is a little cowl I finished up.  Love the colors in this yarn.  I used over sized needles (17) and knit in stockinet the stitch.   


It is soft and squishy, and bright!  I can't decide if I should hang on to it or not.  



This is some super chunky Malabrigo.  Holy Cow!  I love this stuff.  It is so soft.  I used size 17 needles for this as well.  I will most definitely be holding onto this one!!!!




Poor girlie,  She is a bit out of sort.  You see, she has no sofa to sit on the back of!  It's a long story, so the short version is this.  we bought new furniture (exciting!).  Well, I gave away out old stuff to get ready for the new furniture.  Delivery day came and they guys could not get the sofa through the living room door!  Geesh!!!!   They put it back on the truck and took it away.  I am having it brought back and also doing my best to get a contractor to open up the living room entrance, if I can just get someone to call me back!!!  Why is that so hard!!!  So cross your fingers for me.  We have needed to have this done, this was the straw that broke the camel's back!  I know once we get it done and the sofa moved in we will be pleased...it is just going to take some time and patience!



Here is a picture of the beast that would fit, I took it in the store.  It is going to be so nice to be able to sit upon it!  LOL!!!!  I wigged out a little, but then I decided there are worse problems to have, and in the scheme of things it will work out.

This evening I am sitting in a chair working on some crochet (which I should be able to share soon!).   

I am going to sign off with a sweet little pic of Phoebe?  She has been so sweet and snugly!  I cannot imagine our home without her!



She is up on the.bed, one of her favorite places!

Have a great week everyone!!!!

Wow! You really hit the jackpot! Looks like some great yarn. Hope you get the sofa soon. I have had that problem several times also. Love the knitting!

You really sis score with all that beautiful yarn. I LOVE you cowls, I have some chunky yarn that would look great in a cowl, you are tempting me to cast on, but I am going to try and resist and finish up a few things first.
Hugs,
Meredith
