So...my friend calls me yesterday and casually mentions that she'll send a bag of yarn home when the Old Man comes by. And
THIS is that bag. It looks innocent enough. It's just a bag of yarn...right? But...that's an awfully big bag! Hmmm...peeking inside, there's a whole lot of varigated and rug yarn. Wonder what else is in there? With my friend Janet, there's no telling!
Wowsers! That's a whole lot of yarn! See, Janet helps manage a second-hand shop. The Owner buys abandoned storage units - blindly - so they never know what they're going to find when they start opening bags and boxes. And since we do fun things for each other, she knows to keep an eye out for yarn and needles for me. But this -
THIS - is
Wowser! 
Even Sneakers the dog and Hemi the Siamese came over to see what all my excitement was about. Unfortunately, Sneakers sort of frightened Hemi with her barking but hey, I was barking too! Not only was there a whole bunch of non-allergenic machine-washable acrylic for charity projects, there was about 16 skeins of Aunt Lydia's Rug Yarn and a few balls of Peaches and Cream cotton too. OH...and remember the Welch's jelly glasses? There was one in there with Tom and Jerry on it! Thanks Janet!

Holy Moley Batman, that is a lot of yarn! Cool!!! Friends Rock!!
It sure is a lot! I think it ended up as 14 grocery sacks - sorted by color and type. I've already started using it in the 8" squares for the San Diego Wildfires Project too!
OMG, friends do rock. Particularly friends who send that kind of stash your way. How awesome!!!! Thank you so much for the kind comment you left on my blog, it really touched me. :)
Ayup, friends DO rock! It IS awesome and I'm tickled (busy, but tickled!). You're welcome and it's true...Knit on!
