Flea Market Finds...

I bought these a while ago actually.  I have no idea what I was thinking.  I can't crochet but I guess one day I might have to sit down and learn.  Or give this lot away.






I wouldn't even know what you'd make with it - a bag maybe?

And for those of you who crochet, look at this cute vintage container full of crochet threads

Closes tomorrow (Monday 24th) on Trade Me

    It's funny, I was just thinking of posting all my yarn and knitting needles on Trade Me, but all of a sudden I am slightly motivated to take up knitting again! I love that you bought all that stuff without even knowing how to crochet.

    Are you as addicted to Trade Me as I am?

    Great finds Kelly!
    You never know what that might turn into one day! We are just starting to love Trade Me now - people are actually bidding on our stuff! (we've been told we need to declutter the house!)

    I am like you. I have aquired a massive amount of crochet yarns and still can't start. You see, my mother was left handed. I am right handed. Not a good mix when learning to sew, knit and crochet. They look great though. All it needs is one small step. xxNick

      So what do you use it for, I have tried to crochet a purse, but is turns out very abrasive? A pot scrubber maybe!

    If you have cotton you could knit dishcloths - sounds silly but incredibly addictive and EASY

    I'm the same have been collecting old spools of crochet thread for ages love the colours but can't crochet but recently saw a large glass container filled with crochet thread as a vignette and it looked divine.
    great finds, love them
