Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Just picked up jean greenhowes toy making book for £1.25 from a charity shop and 3 x 100gm balls of surdar denim sport aran in a pink for 50p a ball, !!!  x janet

A good bargain i have picked up jean greenhowe books for 50p and spiderman for 30p and a wedding dress for a sindy doll for 5p.

I think I need to visit the charity shops by you lot. Around here they are extortionate!! Theres times that you may as well buy new they are so expensive.

you did well!

My charity shop haul today was a huge cone of 4ply Moorland, 5x50gr Wendy Dolce and two big bags to stash wool in for £8. the bags are brand new and BIG.!!! If anyone lives near BOYES they are selling the bags for 99p and they are great for woolly projects as they have a pocket for pins etc.

I think some charity shops are over expensive, I know they have overheads etc, but they are actually given the stuff, we have one that is really cheap, and I buy loads much more than if it was expensive, x Janet

you never know what you will find, it pays to keep going back

i love charity shops there is one where i live and they alk ways have everything that i go in for its the best even though the women behind the counter constantly say that teenagers arent supposed to knit there just jelous that im better than they are!

You tell them to mind their own beeswax. There is no law that says teens are not allowed to knit and if there was, then there shouldn’t be. ooooooooooooooooo women like them make me SOOOOOOOOOOO mad
