I have been doing some charity knitting lately and you know that requires acrylic. Well, my parents are avid garage salers and since that is what gets sold, last week I asked them to buy yarn and knitting/crocheting stuff. My mom called Sat morning and said they found some. DD and I were out for breakfast so I told her we'd be over after that. We walked in and there are boxes and still in bags of yarn and patterns....
ok its Red Heart but 62 Classic and 6 big Super Savers. There were Herrschners patterns in the bags with it--one is Colorama Afghan and the other is Flowers and Diamonds Afghan. Plus there were other magazines.Oh, the best part is that they paid............$5. Yup, thats all! They said there were lots of books so I went back and bought some Leasure Arts and American School of Needlework and magazines and misc. patterns for $2.
I told my mom that I'd make her an afghan. I will probably try to find her one out of one of the many books. I think it will be cool to make the Colorama Afghan (can't believe Ravelry doesn's have these) but I'm not so sure about the granny squares for the other one that came as a kit.
Granted it is just Red Heart but I was so excited!!!

Wowza, I need to start hitting yard sales!!! Great find : )
Someone's waste is someone's treasrue !!OM, these are rare find. Good buy !
I found your post on Ravelry and I have to say WOW! I love that cheap yarn for making toys, as they can be washed (as a mom of almost 6, trust me, washable is very very very very important!!). My mind looked at all that yarn and started reeling with doll ideas!
Maybe I should get over my fear of garage sales... Well, it is more a fear about my husband at a garage sale... I have anout junk at my house! But yarn? You can never have enough yarn fancy or cheap!
