Yay! You made it!

And can't you count your 32 x 25g balls of baby wool as 6 in since they're for specified projects?

I'm trying to be honest,here, TSS! 32 is 32.

I am constantly amazed by your finds at the Salvos. My local op shops have virtually no yarn or needles - aside from those I've donated!

Just stopping by to say hello I have been so slack lately with my own blog and also stopping by the blogs linked from mine, so I am trying to fix that :)
