So I like to look through the "free" section on CL occasionally, just to see what's out there... and generally, it's nothing but things that don't interest me. Baby clothes, old pallets, etc. But today, someone was advertising free yarn... someone in the next neighborhood over. Totally within walking distance. Not only that... but they were SPOOLS of yarn, big quantities, used for machine knitting (but also totally usable for hand knitting.) NOT ONLY THAT, but they are natural fibers- some merino, some wool crepe, a bunch of an odd mercerized cotton that feels like linen, AND TWO GIGANTIC SPOOLS OF BEAUTIFUL CASHMERE. There is some silk in there, two cones of some interesting sleek black rayon, and I can't even remember the rest. At least $1000 worth of yarn, for free- and so much that I had to take a cab home.
It's probably more yarn than I can knit or crochet with in my lifetime, but that's not going to stop me from trying to knit it all within the next few months. No sirree bob, this is a challenge I will not be backing down from! By September, I bet I will have made a SIZEABLE dent. Yes. YES YES YES. My fella is getting a sweater, another hat, and some gloves. I am getting a skirt, probably out of the rayon. And there is going to be so much left over, I can't even! YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
