$14.99 for embroidered poppies. It needs a cleaning (somehow), and I need to rearrange my artwork finds to balance the scale, but I love it. I ♥️ poppies!

My second piece of vintage Tonala pottery for $5.99. Done by artist, V. Silva (apparently popular, but I can't find a bio). I think it's a frog?

Whooped up a Hugs & Kisses Girl's Beanie for my niece's birthday. (plus float photo!)

It must be turtle lamp season? I let this pair go today (I got one last month), and there's two people that posted their catches today.
Posted 12th Aug 2022r/ThriftStoreHauls
Had to exchange my husband's pants, so swapped for a haul for me! $15 CAD for this lot of yarn and a set of Chiaogoo DPN.
Posted 1st Aug 2022r/ThriftStoreHauls
Behold, my very own turtle lamp! It works, and even has its prong protector. It was a little pricey, but I did have a $2 off coupon (shrug).

She's rough, but she's all there, and I'm going to save her! $7.99 after coupon for this tiny cantilever box.

Vintage vase by award winning, Mexican artist Carlos Villaueva for 6.99. Had no idea who he was until I looked it up, but that cute owl pulled me in! (kitty for scale)

Sigh, my cats are jerks. WIP in morning light to demonstrate how much cat hair is in my WIP after my cats stole it in the night and played with it in their play house.

Catch and release, aka I may have screwed up not buying it. Cody Musical Creations ballerina music box. Video in comments of it in action.

Purrini cat tower brand new for $4.99 CAD x 2 bags. It was an Indigogo product, and I think it's the $319 CAD set!

I made a cat!

Double Thick Hat - Made as a gift, but now I need to make one for myself. It's like 4 hats in 1!
Posted 1st May 2022r/knitting
~$20 CAD for this Cashmere scarf and some delicious, squishy cakes of yarn. (2nd photo shows full scarf)
Posted 27th Apr 2022r/ThriftStoreHauls
~$20 for some much needed endorphins. My favorite find is the butterfly pin. Close ups on 2nd & 3rd photos.
Posted 3rd Apr 2022r/ThriftStoreHauls
$2.99 for these freaking adorable, wire mounted Easter eggs I found stuffed in a tacky Easter planter (immediately donated it back before leaving after plucking them out). No idea of their history, but they look fairly old. Kitty tax on 2nd photo.
Posted 5th Mar 2022r/ThriftStoreHauls
So annoyed with myself. Was doing this cable peak wrong for a full 4 repeats of a 23 row x 141 stitch repeat (3,243 stitches). This was going to be my super-careful-masterpiece that had no major flaws, sigh.

FO or Rant? Hoarfrost Hat reeks of mothballs once wet. /sad-face
Posted 1st Mar 2022r/knitting
Went for an 8x10 frame (for another painting not shown), left with that and a bunch more, plus kitty tax!
Posted 26th Feb 2022r/ThriftStoreHauls
My bobble is more of a bump than a bobble. Tips on making an afterthought bobble?
Posted 24th Feb 2022r/knitting
My first test knit is complete: Lady Nufashond. +Kitty tax x2!
Posted 10th Feb 2022r/knitting
$1.99 for this little art deco frame. 2nd photo shows closeup details. Seems legit from that era. The razor-sharp glass inside cut my palm while cleaning it, so it might also be haunted. Bonus kitten tax x2 (can you spot both?)
Posted 16th Jan 2022r/ThriftStoreHauls
Over the holiday break I'm working on two WIPs and doing a deep dive into learning fair isle / stranded.
Posted 29th Dec 2021r/knitting
$3.99 each on different days from different cities. I apparently collect vintage Guildcraft fruitcake tins now. +kitten tax

The Adelisa Earflap Hat X2 for some friends' twins, done!
Posted 6th Nov 2021r/knitting
Bought this qiviut blend cardigan 3 years ago for $3.99 with the intent of breaking it down for its yarn. Just found it still being sold today for $1,159! Glad I didn't break it down yet, back in the ziplock it goes while I think about my next move!
Posted 23rd Oct 2021r/ThriftStoreHauls
One of two Adelisa Earflap Hats off the needles and blocked.
Posted 4th Oct 2021r/knitting
10/10 would recommend for anyone frequently burning through scraps!
Posted 2nd Oct 2021r/knitting
A quick Bolton Pass Hat. Wish I could capture the yarn's color better, it shimmers like an little pool of oil.
Posted 22nd Aug 2021r/knitting
$19.99 CAD for this cantilever sewing box. I've never seen a square one of this style before, so I just had to get it. Made in Romania.
Posted 5th Aug 2021r/ThriftStoreHauls
Old Forge off the needles and blocked (unblocked 2nd photo). That's one project off my knit bucket list!
Posted 1st Aug 2021r/knitting
Finally on to the bind-off edging, and my Old Forge blanket is starting to become a blanket rather than a mysterious sack!
Posted 14th Jul 2021r/knitting
One of the top things in my list that day was something I could use to grow cat grass in. BAM, "Are you effing kidding me?", $4.99 for actual "Catit 2.0 grass planter", new in box. Not a huge savings (~$15), but I'll be damned if this isn't why I always shop thrift first!
Posted 30th Jun 2021r/ThriftStoreHauls
All this for $40 CAD at the thrift store today!
Posted 18th Jun 2021r/casualknitting
Yarn haul! About $40 CAD for all this. Probably about $400 brand new, maybe a schmidge more?
Posted 17th Jun 2021r/ThriftStoreHauls
I made a video of myself, for myself, on how I weave ends into ribbing so I wouldn't forget. Thought I'd share it for anyone that might find it useful. Curious, does this method have a name?
Posted 20th May 2021r/knitting
Finally started Stephen West's Old Forge over the weekend (between kitten attacks)

Simple Slip Stitch Slouchy. Yarn stash -2, Gift stash +1.
Posted 12th May 2021r/knitting
Brought a project I've been procrastinating to work to force myself to finish it on breaks. I don't wanna weave in the ends! /weep
Posted 11th May 2021r/casualknitting
Determined to use this beautiful thrift store yarn that moths have nibbled on. In other words, why do I do this to myself??
Posted 14th Feb 2021r/casualknitting
About 9 months ago my husband asked me to teach him to knit. I present to you, a wash cloth that was finally bound off today.
Posted 19th Jan 2021r/knitting
I got excited, and finished my Brighter Days Hat this morning + Selfies are hard!
