I love Freecycle

Back in December I saw a very exciting post on Freecycle--free yarn! I managed to get to it before anyone else and the lady gave me a good sized box of random odds and ends. The pic doesn't really do it justice; it was a lot to comb through! There were some cheap acrylics mixed in with some good stuff (e.g. a skein of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino, for those of you who care). There were also a bunch of random works in progress that I just ended up tossing, like this big stack of granny squares. I mean, what was I going to do with a bunch of camo-colored granny squares?!

And while we're on the subject of yarn, here are a couple of small Christmas projects I did to fill in some time on my daily commute. Cute, no? :)

Ooh..free yarn is ALWAYS good. Already working on Christmas stuff, huh? You are on top of things!

Oh no no no, the snowman and mouse are from LAST Christmas, hahaha! I'm really behind on posts, but it was on my camera so I thought I'd share :)

Hmm, I should post that blanket I made for my mom last Christmas too.

The snowman and mouse are adorable! You and Sabby are so crafty.

Zach's preschool assigned us to put together a box for Valentine's Day. And Phil and I are scratching our heads trying to figure out what to do. *sigh* I think there should be a requirement that anyone having kids should have at least one partner that is crafty.
