Crochet Me Crazy

I went to an estate sale on Saturday and was hoping to get some good yarn but was sadly dissapointed. The guy said it was a quilt/craft store of his deceased mother. What he really meant was she had collected enough stuff to have her own store! Most of what was left was pretty dirty and smelly from being stored for so long. I did get some of it that wasn't as bad. I got some nice ribbon yarn and one of those little knitting stand baskets. I'm going to work on re-balling some of it and trying to clean it. I just hope that when i use it, I can then wash the finished item and it will be fine. The yarn was probably fine yarn in its day! Too bad so much of it went to waste! I left the yarn that had been "eaten" by something!

We all went over to a lady's house to pick up a cone of free yarn on my freecycle list. She was a really neat lady and we ended up staying and visiting for quite awhile. She is really crafty and wants to teach me to sew! I got all kinds of neat ideas from her while I was over there. Turns out we are both on the same yahoo freeform list, too! She gave me several cones of other yarns and some other remants.
