i called some stores to find my costume, and when i went in they only had kid sizes, or overpriced ones with that cheap shiny material. so in desperation, i fled to my local value village.

FREE YARN!!!!!!!! FREE YARN!!!!!!!!!!!! FREE YARN!!!!!!!!!!!

[stupidusername.livejournal.com]

Okay as most of you all know by now, I am moving to NC inJanuary. My mom has this room full of yarn. I am not lieing when I say it is FILLED with yarn. When we use to play hide-and-go-seek in the house, you could bury yourself in yarn and no one would be able to find you....
So anyways my mom was just going to throw it away because it is pointless to bring it all with us. I figured I would come on here and see if anyone is interested in it. All you have to do is pay to ship it. Now there is probably 20 years worth of yarn in that room. I am not sure what is up there, I mean some are full scans and some are tangled, but there is alot of it.
If anybody wants any, all you have to do is pay for me to ship it and you can have it.
Sort of like a grab bag of yarn, you know?
Anyways....I am not to familar with the post office, but this is my shot at telling you how much it would cost to mail it all.
Umm is Parcel Post the correct way to mail it? That is what I am going by.
For up to one pound: $3.75
For up to two pound: $4.49
For up to three pounds: $6.32
For up to four pounds: $7.87
For up to five pounds: $9.43
I am pretty sure it might be cheaper depending on your zip code, I can check that out if anybody wants any.
And if anybody knows a cheaper way to mail it, let me know.
I am not sure about over-seas mailings either. I imagine it will cost more to mail it out of the USA.

OH I AM REALLY SORRY ABOUT CROSS-POSTING....I AM.

with all the talk of knitting lately, i thought i'd share what i'm working on.



this is gonna be a scarf made out of this yummy watermelon rainbow yarn i picked up at the thriftstore..i'm also using lots of other leftovers that've been hanging around. i know it's a bit of a mess, but when i block it, it'll be nice and flat. when it's long enough, i'm gonna line the back with the fabric the scarf is lying on. i cant decide if i will fringe it, put on some pompoms, or just leave the edges plain.

i know it's tacky, but so am i.

Hi everyone, I've got a quick question...

I want to teach myself how to crochet but I don't really know where to begin. I went to the craft store to get a crochet hook but there were so many kinds! What's a good, basic size to start with? That question would go for knitting needles, too. What's the significance of the different sizes?

Also, if I want to make a tightly woven scarf is there a particular type of yarn I should get?

Thanks for the help!
