Knitting on the cheap...

Loving my 50 cent knitting magazine.  This early 1980's mag is a valuable source for me, believe it or not;




Yarn at 50 cents each - bargain!  It has a little alpaca and mohair amongst the acrylic and polyester, and I think it will make a lovely scarf for next winter;




I found this furry yarn also for 50 cents and it's exactly what I needed because it appeared in front of me the day after I decided to make the Yultide Gnome knitted toy.  If you know what he looks like, you'll know I need this for his big beard.  How's that for destiny?
