The Ripple Afghan I rescued....

[Cliffnote]

I went to a consignment shop today and found this afghan there. It was 2.49 but wednesday is half off and I got it for 1.25. Can you believe that. I thought I would rescue it and give it a home.

Oh my, it's beautiful! Good thing you rescued it. Now it has a nice loving home.

 

An afghan for a buck and a quarter. All that yarn and work and love for a $1.25... *sigh*

Thank you for rescuing the ripple....can you imagine the yarn and the time....glad it is where it will be appreciated. (I rescued a crochet tree skit at work this year...no one liked it, I do, some one put a lot of time in it)

Very nice! What a deal!

I have a friend who is forever watching for crochet at estate sales. She's found some nice things!

[Wiste]

How pretty. I plan to make myself a ripple as soon as my skills are up to par. My grandmother had an enormous blue and gold ripple on the sofa in her den for as long as I can remember and since she's my inspiration for starting crochet it's definitely something I want to do.

Nice Valentine colors !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

[Crafty_Mel]

wow! sweet deal! Good rescue!

Just in time for Valentines Day with those colors, very pretty, someone put a lot of heart in the afghan, nice of you to save it!

Very pretty! It always makes me sort of sad to see crocheted things at flea markets/thrift stores etc....I made my daughter PROMISE not to put my crocheted stuff in a flea market when I'm gone....she's going to keep it all. In fact, although she's only 12, she once rescued a doily from a yard sale at our church!

I agree on the big thanks for the rescue, it's one of those feel good endings that I love.

Why would someone want to get rid of that?!? It is so pretty!!!

[RoseRed]

It just makes me sick that people have no regard for the work or the love that goes into making these things. At least it has a good home now.

Nice save! $1.25 Geez, That just hurts to think that handmade things just don't seem to have any value to some people

[Lov2Crochet]

Wow, great find! I often find afghans at my local Salvation Army store.

[JoBug]

Thank you for recuing that beauty indeed!! You got a GREAT rescue there!!!

We should start a crochet rescue group like they have for the dogs and stuff!!

Oh my, it's beautiful! Good thing you rescued it. Now it has a nice loving home.

couldn't have said it better myself

I love finding crafty things at sales. I remember that when I was a teenager I found a beautiful green, gray and cream ripple afghan at a garage sale for only 50 cents! Can you believe that? I still use it today.

[Feederofthepack]

Nice save! (on the price, too!) I hate to see them in there!

[Elle]

It's very pretty! And you can't beat the price! But most importantly, someone's hard work and love went into making it, and now it has a home where it will be appreciated.
