Fellow knitters, prepare to be positively GREEN WITH ENVY!

*Eight* whole skeins of chocolate brown Rowan Kidsilk Haze for just *four whole British pounds*! Yes, that works out at being  just £0.50 per skein instead of £6.75! How could I leave that behind? I also got five and a half balls of sage green Rowan Silken Tweed for the same price too. Bargains of the century or what??!

Today was that big monthly jumble sale that we always go to and for some reason the haberdashery section was overflowing with knitting materials- everyone must be having a spring clean. That combined with the bad weather which deterred a lot of people from attending meant that there were *plenty* of bargains to be had. And it wasn’t just the crafting section either…

I also got a white top by Joseph for £2, a white linen Thomas Pink tunic for £3, and a Paul Costelloe blouse for £3 all of which were probably only worn once (because it’s near quite a well-to-do area down in these parts one can often pick up some *real* clothing bargains; I’ve even seen a genuine Gucci bag for sale there for £10 in the past). But by far my favourite clothing purchase was a rather snug 100% wool argyle pullover for only £2. Overall it’s been a good week in terms of charity shop purchases as I also picked up a Ralph Lauren Blue Label shirt a couple of days ago for £5.99 which seems hugely expensive in comparison, but then Oxfam always tends to be on the pricey side.

There is seriously *nothing* that you can’t buy at this jumble sale, it’s completely amazing. I even managed to pick up a load of dolly clothes including a rather nice knitted jacket for Joyce, my Peteena.

I’m already excited for the next big sale in July, I wonder what I’ll find at that one?!
