Feliz Dia de San Valentin!

Happy Valentine's Day!


and now that that's out of the way...

let me tell you about my latest trip to Salvys (Salvation Army). I'm a big thrift store fan, big. I love going to Goodwill, Salvation Army, Unique, you put the words "thrift store" by the name and I'll be there. Lately I haven't had a chance to go and the last time I was there I walked empty handed (shocking, right?), but boy am I happy I stopped there yesterday...

I found this

















14 balls of Rowan's Yorkshire Tweed 4-ply

best part?

It was only $1.99 for all of them!

5 are brown, 2 blue, 2 grey, 1 green, 1 light green, 1 redish/brown, 1 orange-ish and 1 mauve

Any ideas or suggestions? I have enough for a sweater, but I would need to combine the colors...which scares me a bit.

Hope your thrift store trips are as rewarding as mine!

Ah, it's fingering weight. Hmm...a shetland type shawl with concentric rings of color? Very nice find.
