It was mostly Moda Dea novelty yarns (some very pretty ones) perfect for scarves and some Patons Divine, but there was also this:
It's got to be the nastiest feeling acrylic I've ever felt! But I love the label, I'm guessing it's probably from the '30s or '40s.There was also a pair of Brittany birchwood needles too! A very nice surprise.
Jeanne asked about my cardigan - it's the Tea Leaves cardigan, and I'm making progress - slow progress, but progress.
I've knit on it for a few hours every night - I'm definitely going to have to buy my Dad a Christmas present, because his sock so aren't getting done in time.
Time is running out on the contest - you have until Midnight Saturday to enter. Mom put up some new colourways today, and there is discounted shipping - go check it out!

OMG, look at that yarn! My mother's mother died when I was in grade five. I remember she used to knit socks for us grandkids, but it was nasty acrylic, all scratchy. I remember one Christmas I was so excited when I opened my gift, it was a cake mix box. My mother was like, "I don't think it's a cake mix." I opened it up, and it was two pairs of scratchy acrylic socks, one pair pink, one pair purple. I think I wore them once or twice skating, I couldn't stand the feel. I don't remember what happened to them. I assume I outgrew them, so Ma would have thrown them out most likely.
Getting free yarn is always nice - and I'm sure you'll find a use for the acryllic (donating is always good right?).
The cardi is beautiful - I love the colorway!
Oh, my. 10¢!
Watch out for open flames.
The mermaid yarn on the Etsy site is stunning!
You'll have to show those ones to Julie.
