Buy my yarn leavings?
Tuesday I tackled this:
With the stuff I decided to flat out pitch, I got it down to eight bins. If anyone wants to buy any of the following grab bags, I can get it down to seven bins. Be forewarned that none of this is “the good stuff”. It’s all stuff I bought with projects in mind and then either started and gave up on, or never got around to starting, or is the extra from project over-buying, etc. Most of this would be great for charity knitting, or baby afghans, and so on. I really need to destash, and this is the easiest stuff to start with. I just couldn’t bring myself to start with the sock yarn! So, take a look if you dare. There are two prices; one if you can pick it up (I can bring it to the shop, as I am most easily found there) and a different price including postage if I’m mailing it to you. I happily take cash, PayPal, or if I know you, a check. Sorry, no bartering with pigs or chickens.
Explanations/prices are below the pictures. If you want it, ; first come, first served.

If only I knew how to knit I could help you out! But alas, I know not how to use the pointy sticks, not to mention how far I am from Gainesville.
Okay Lorena it's been FOREVER since I last had time to sit down and catch up on your extensive blogging. Life's crazy....I suck! But I have to say that I can understand not accepting offers of pigs and chickens. HOWEVER I do have something that might spark your interst a little....BOOZE! I know you can't turn down a good beer!
No pigs or chickens? Okay: four goats - and that's firm.

Chantell, you know me so well!
Dave, are they angora goats? Or at least something I can get a good cheese from?
Data, yarn is in the mail!

Angoran? Almost: they are Angolan goats, a distant (and very bald) cousin to the Angoran goat. And yes they are well known for their cheese, which while indigestible by humans, is an excellent industrial solvent. The only warning I have is that they are not good around children or adults, so it’s best if you can provide them with their own room (because they are infected with Congo-Crimean Hemorrhagic fever they can’t legally be kept outside).
So it’s a trade?
