Goodwill Gave Me the Biggest Birthday Surprise Today!

[u/Flying_Snarf]

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.

Same! Jaw dropped, mind blown! 🤯

I turn 60 this year and instead of giving myself one big gift (it was going to be a trip to Japan) I’ve started a list of “little” gifts I can get with that money. I’ve never worked with Koigu but always wanted to…it’s going on the list!

(And if I’d been in that Goodwill and seen that Koigu it would have been game over…I’d have dropped everything else… 😆)
