The need is so great - I'm on the South Jersey Shore (near Atlantic City) - we had no damage - but AC and surrounding areas are devastated. Our group is collecting hats & scarves to donate to the Atlantic City Rescue Mission. It turned really cold today.

Sneaking yarn in the home

I used to hide it - now it is out in the open - all over the house - it definitely is cheaper than therapy - I actually crochet afghans for hospice patients so I needs lots and lots of yarn. NEVER pass up a great sale especially using coupons -
Welcome - spent a lifetime in Brooklyn - Park Slope - Bensonhurst & Kensington/Windsor Terrace - retired to Galloway, NJ 5 years ago. Love it - miss Brooklyn - but can't live there again.

I am almost finished making the rectangle granny afghan. I am using up lots of my scraps. I crochet for a hospice group. My husband had received a red - white - blue afghan from the hospice group because he was a veteran. He loved it and constantly used it as he was always cold.
-
I am trying not to buy any new yarn until I can get a better handle on my stash. Made these 2 scrap afghans for Holy Redeemer Hospice here in Atlantic Co., NJ
-
Made this Teddy Bear Filet Afghan - not sure what I am going to do with it - probably a future gift. I just love bears.

Hi and Welcome - I was born and raised in Brooklyn - retired to South Jersey 6 years ago. I will always be a Brooklyn girl.

I got goosebumps reading about your find - better than Christmas morning. -

Hats for next winter - a couple of scarves for the soldiers in Afghanistan for next winter - a shawl for hospice care. That should keep me entertained. -
I just ordered the pattern - can't wait to make it
-
That is absolutely gorgeous
-
Love the pillow - the basketweave pattern is so pretty - but it sure eats up a lot of yarn.

Mom gave me her yarn stash....

Receiving someone's stash or finding a great bargain at an estate sale or thrift shop is like a kid in a candy store.
