| Yarn from Neighbor S's Mother L |
Neighbor S called me the other evening and asked me if I wanted some yarn that her mother L didn't want anymore. I can never say no to free yarn, so, of course, I said yes! I guess her mother was clearing out her stash! Daughter and I were happy to add the yarn to our stash! S brought the yarn over on Wednesday night and I sorted through the yarn on Thursday. There were some unfinished projects, as well, including a single knitted sleeve and what might have been the start of a crocheted blanket. As far as I can tell, the yarn is all acrylic, so machine washable and dryable. My first thought was we could make a blanket while daughter thought she could use them for her amigurumi and other craft projects. I think I will be able to knit a couple of pairs of socks with some of the yarn. It will be fun to plan how we'll use the yarn.
In addition to the yarn, there were some sewing supplies, as well. Mostly elastics and cords of various lengths, and a piece of black fabric:

I will be adding them to the stash, too!
I messaged L to thank her for the gift of yarn and sewing supplies. I am excited to get started on a knitting project!
I am grateful for:
- The gift of yarn and sewing supplies from L
- Neighbor S bringing me the yarn and other items
Oh that IS a fabulous stash. I have a big reel of white elastic like that too. Bought to make 20 pairs of harem pants for a school play some years ago, but I only used half ...it has kept me going for all sorts of other projects! I know you and your daughter will knit up some lovely things to bring joy to others.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela. I was especially thankful for the elastic as I was coming to the end of my stash and since our fabric store went out of business, last year, it's not as convenient to buy notions unless one orders them online.
DeleteYour neighbour knew where her mother's yarn goodies would be appreciated and used! What a lovely stash!
ReplyDeleteYes, both S and her mother know that my daughter and I knit, crochet, and sew. We will have fun with the items we received. :)
DeleteWell, that’s a fun surprise. Looking forward to seeing what you and your daughter do with your new treasures.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a fun surprise, especially since, at first, I misheard S and thought she said yam instead of yarn! :D
DeleteHi dear friend, what a fantastic stash of yarn! I am certain that you will put it to good use.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Both my daughter and I like to knit and crochet so the yarn will not go to waste. :)
DeleteOoooh, I love a good yarn stash, and free yarn is always welcome, lucky you xx
ReplyDeleteFree yarn is definitely welcome! I'm looking forward to making things with the yarn I've been given.
DeleteWhat a great addition to your stash! I wonder what you'll be making with it. X
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful addition to the stash, isn't it? I think a pair of socks will be high on the list of things to make. :)
DeleteIt was your lucky day! I'd have been thrilled to receive that stash... although it's a good thing I didn't as my storage chest is stuffed as it is! Enjoy your crafting!
