Lazy Saturday

[dr4b]

Eh... didn't do much today at all. Slept in, played some PP, watched some dorama, went to dinner at Snappy Dragon with Zach and Mindy and Carl. That's about it.

Oh, I did get together some of my stuff to start trying to sell it off in my "being less of a packrat" attempt. So if anyone wants to buy some of my old manga let me know. I'm sort of wondering if in the long run maybe I'll be better off just taking stuff to HPB though.

Is there a good place to donate old piles of yarn? Besides trying to foist it off on someone like Jonobie or Megan or whoever?

Have you considered eBay?

[dr4b]

I probably will, but I would rather try to sell locally first since I've never sold anything on Ebay before and I'm worried about getting scammed.

Usually I think it's the people sending the money who get scammed, as I recall (worse quality product, etc.); you just need to be sure of postage rates, for example, so that you don't accidentally screw yourself over. But you don't need to send the product until you get their money!

That said, looking local first is kinda nice sometimes, as the post office side can be a bit of a hassle.

(I suppose I should say that it's been a while since I did any eBaying, and things might have changed, but I kinda doubt it.)

Yarn

My grandmother takes old bits of leftover yard and makes wacky afghans out of them. Then she donates them to the homeless who don't care if they are orange, purple, and green. If you know a basic knitting stitch you could bang out an funky blanket pretty fast, if there is a donation group near you. Or you could send it to my grandma! :-)

Problem is I don't have time to knit anymore, nor any drive to, which is why the yarn just takes up space and isn't doing much good to anyone. Colleen actually suggested I give it to her sister, who knits every day and might be setting up some knitting consignment thing...

Did I hear you say yarn? ;) Twist my arm and I'll take it. If it hasn't been claimed yet, that is.

[dr4b]

None of it's been claimed... I haven't really gotten it all together. I will let you know when I do (Colleen had suggested I give it to Beckie if all else failed.)
