garage sale find

May 17, 2009

we went to the annual regent square garage sale yesterday and surprise! i found a presto chango – a pattern i’ve actually considered making

garage sale find!

i’m pretty sure it’s superwash wool.  it cost $1 and came with a yellow insert.  i’ll have to figure out sizing to come up with who will get this one… and i think i need to change the buttons :)  fun to find a pattern i recognized!  although i always have mixed feelings about the $1 thing.

  1. ack! a dollar for a handknit:( I know, I know, it was a garage sale.

    I’ve made that pattern and I love it. I think those smileys detract from the pattern and I have no doubt you’ll find the perfect ones.


  2. Wow, $1! That’s why I am so afraid to knit for friends and acquaintances!


  3. it has found an appreciative owner! what a great concept for baby clothes, very clever.


  4. I’m a little sad you found that at the yard sale!

  6. Score!, those buttons do need to go, would be cute on a plainer knit though or single on the top of a baby hat.


  7. Wow, I honestly hope the maker of that sweater is blissfully ignorant of the fact that the recipient sold it for $1 at a garage sale! I know the buttons you choose will be perfect!
