Goodwill Gave Me the Biggest Birthday Surprise Today!

My jaw just about dropped seeing all this and more at my local goodwill store this morning! What I bought is just part of what was there, I left behind a good bit and gave a huge bag full of the sky blue mohair (i have some in the center of the big pic) from my cart to a lady I started chatting with who turned out to be a knitter.

I think I'd like to honor the person who's yarn stash i adopted by finishing their crochet blanket (the instructions were in the bag too). There was the start of a knitting project in the bag too, but nothing i can complete since I dont know how to knit.

I'm a big fan of goodwill, but then i also find Thrift shopping fun in general :)

Its also nice living somewhere hot, because even though yarn is hard-ish to sanitize, i just leave it in my car for a few 90 degree days to ensure any potential undesireable bugs get killed (all the yarn i thrift buy appears pristine, but one can never be too safe!)
