Hit the jackpot!!!!!

Wow!!! I just had to share my great find - on the way home from work I passed a yard sale in my neighborhood so I decided to stop. For 50 cents I got the following:

 

decorated basket with 2 handles and lid

3 balls of dark brown yarn (it may even been wool - I'm going to test it later, and if it is, I may just have to try felting!!!)

6 pairs of knitting needles in assorted sizes

5 double pointed needles

1 stitch holder

4 single knitting needles missing their partners

 

I know it's knitting needles, not crochet hooks, but I ***JUST*** taught myself how to knit a few weeks ago. I have been thinking about starting to purchase some needles in sizes I need, but have been putting it off. I can't believe my good luck of picking up these supplies at such a great price.

 

It reminded me to remember to keep an eye out at yard sales for yarn and supplies - you just can't beat the deals!!!!

Cool! Don't you just love those successes??!!! I find a lot of knitting needles at thrift stores but not many crochet hooks. Lots of yarn at estate sales too but never for 50 cents for the entire lot! Good work!

Wow ! Lucky you. I found 2 skiens of Pound of love for $4.00 today at the salvation army store. 32 ounces of off white yarn. PINKROSES

Don't you just love yard sales?!?!? I've gotten a few good buys this year too!

Amazing! Makes you feel really good to find such deals. Have fun knitting . I learned to knit when I was 5 and have just taken up crochet, but am loving it so much I had not knitted in three months; however I started a prayer shawl the other day.

I love getting great deals like that. I even have my boyfriend scouting sales with me ti find yarn. The best was the first auction I took him to. I have three boxes of yarn for $10. And after $50 and his truck FULL of all the things I bought. He just laughed. But the yarn I got was really cool.

(He Laughed Because I Didn't Even Give the Older ladies there a chance to bid on the yarn. I started the bid at $10 and no one wanted to do higher)
