I am going to try and use up wool from my stash so I have been going through it. I found this pack of 20 balls of Aran with Wool....the receipt was still in the bag. I paid 29 pence per ball so the lot cost me £5.80! I can't remember the date but I think it was at least 15 years ago! I have no idea what I had started knitting with it either so that will be pulled out.

the other one is a discontinued color which has been my favorite for dolls.

hand dyed :)

Been a bit slack on the knitting front lately. Feeling a bit rusty so I've decided to go the easy route & make a scarf out of these lovely skeins of turquoisy wool.

40 skeins of DMC tapestry wool in 8 colors (got this for pennies).

I love how the wool looks in the ball!

My daughter now has her eyes on the scarf! I have a pattern for another scarf that I could do for myself but no wool for it!

She is going to wait until it is finished to decide if she wants it, or if I let her have it!

I wonder why my local thrift store always has crewel wool... I can't resist it. I also found a bag of these tiny plastic rings... I knew I'd think of something to do with them!!
