psst look out for next week’s shop – it may well be someone familiar.

Charity shops. Don’t you just love ‘em? Well actually I don’t frequent them often but now and again I pop into our local one in search of yarn.

Yesterday I hit jackpot:

229

Ten cones of yarn for under £10! There were a few more cones that I left in the shop as I couldn’t carry any more so there may be a return visit. I already have ideas for most of it but some will be going to my next ravelry swap partner as the current swap is a ‘charity’ one.

This week’s shop  is called Curious Mess - who’s seller’s avatar I fell in love with in the etsy forums!  - a couple of my favourites (including the avatar) are below. You can find out more about the shop here.
