Some New Stuff

The thrift store truly never fails me! My mom mentioned she saw a little grab bag full of knitting supplies, so I went to investigate. I did find the bad, in addition to anther bag of circulars and some more yarn. It was full of everything you need: stitch holders, needle protectors, markers, counters, bobbins, cable needles, some very handy knitting reference cards, and a darning needle. The bag full of circular needles was an equally wonderful find. Most are 29 inches, but two are 16 inches for hat making. There are tons of different sizes, including the size I need for my next project. The yarn was a good find too. Overall, I'm quite pleased with my find!

Thrift Store Score!

Check it out. Now that I've started knitting, I'm always on the hunt for cheap yarn and needles. Today, I lucked out and found some DPNs, two pairs of circulars, and yes, a nice skein oh homespun yarn!

I was also fortunate enough to find an old 35mm camera, which has been a long lived quest of mine.
