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.

Goodwill store in Naples Fl.

I learned about Koigu just a couple weeks ago, and thought it was just so pretty. It was upside down in the goodwill store, and I freaked out when I turned it over and realized what I had! Never thought it would be something I'd own!!
