    A lot of times, the sweet souls that created these beautiful works of art have passed on and the family members may not appreciate them

    I buy afghans and frog them, then reuse the yarn to make hats for the homeless. They routinely throw my work away after winter is done, so at least I haven't spent a fortune on new yarn to be throw away!
    It's amazing how many hats can be made from an afghan!

    I have a book from the Prayer Shawls . Some very nice patterns.
    Your sister seems like a very sweet person.
    I have tons of crocheted things. I retired 2013, moved in with my son. Needed something to keep me from going nuts, so I started crocheting. I knew the basics, but never made anything much.
    I have tons of blankets I made for people. My son was supposed to mail ,BUT ,thay keep stacking up.❤❤❤

  • @jblueeyedlady6768
    @jblueeyedlady6768 Год назад +3

    I think I would have to buy those and donate them to shelters. Cheaper and less expensive than me buying the yarn and spending hours making them but the end result would be the same. And they wouldn't waste away in a thrift store. Thanks for sharing! ♥🇺🇸🦄🧚

    • @Lisargarza
      @Lisargarza Месяц назад

      My mom makes another crochet afghan every few weeks and I don’t know what to do with them! I’d donate them to a shelter, but they won’t take them because they can’t be washed! Any ideas?

  • @deborahrichardson1842
    @deborahrichardson1842 Год назад +5

    Great finds Glenda and Lori! I hope they get snatched up and donated to a senior home to be used as lapgans or shawls. That was hard to see, all those beautiful works of art being tossed around in a thrift store. I hope you had a good time. 😊

    So sad to see such beautiful handmade for such pitiful prices. I would give them away first to someone who would love and cuddle them. I do like your thrift store finds. You are bringing back the love,beauty and inspiration to the joy of handmade goods ❤

  • @cherylheming1714
    @cherylheming1714 Год назад +4

    It's sad that people get rid of these handmade treasures, I understand that sometimes circumstances lead them to do this though. They're all so pretty, I hope that a good person will take them home.

    @kellycarter2497 Год назад +4

    Hi Glenda and Laurie. Last time I went to the thrift store, I bought 5 beautiful baby blankets 3.99/2.99 each. All were in the same pattern but different colors. There were more blankets , but I had to slap myself to stop me from buying more. I have no use for them, but my heart couldn't stand seeing them discarded like that. I might donate them to the animal shelter, like another person suggested.

  • @wandataylor6266
    @wandataylor6266 Год назад +3

    I believe I’d have to get them . Someone put a lot of time, money, and love in those. If only people knew how much love went into it them. Someone I’m sure will love them.

  • @MsDawnnee
    @MsDawnnee Год назад +3

    All that work, plus the cost of all the yarn, yet they sell them for next to nothing. I'm in England, and just finished a large blanket that cost me around £28 to make. But then, I enjoy making them.

  • @denisejf
    @denisejf Год назад +2

    It is a shame. Like you said, that doesn't even cover the cost of the yarn. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It makes me wonder if someone crochets the blankets and donates them to the thrift stores so someone can have a nice blanket at a price they can afford.
    Thank you for sharing with us. Nice to see Laurie again 😊 So many times I wish I had a sister 🤷🏼‍♀️
    Have a beautiful day 🤗💖

    Thank you for sharing crocheting and your sister with us. ❤
    My favorite is the green prayer shawl. I love the pattern, the color, and the prayers.
    The one throw that was made with like shell stitch in a square type pattern is called a pandemic throw or blanket.

  • @amandamaddox1473

  • @TheBlueRoan316
    @TheBlueRoan316 4 месяца назад +1

    The yarn costs more than they are asking for the finished blanket.
    I'm working on a throw blanket and the chunky yarn I bought was about $8 for each ball and I needed 6 balls.
    Some of those show a great deal of skill ... Loads more skill than I have 😂. But, crochet is just so relaxing after a day at work.

    @preciousbeautyj1043 Год назад +1

    Hi Glenda & Lori, thanks for taking me thrifting with you. It’s so sad seeing all that work go for pennies. I gift my crochet blankets to siblings, nieces, nephews and my best friend in the world bcuz they love n cherish them.
    I also ask if they want them and what pattern they prefer, if they’re iffy abt it, they get nothing.
    Even if the yarn was $2, we still can’t make anything w/one skein.

    Good afternoon Glenda how are you and your sister Lori! Really beautiful granny square blanket at an amazingly inexpensive price! It could be a car seat blanket? The real tiny blanket could have been a car seat blanket! Cuz a lot of people don't use blankets anymore babies are over a year old. Happy birthday and I hope you both have a wonderful weekend Glenda and Laurie!!

    This is also a great way to get cheap yarn! I looked at yarn in my nearest thrift shop and it was ridiculously expensive. So I was thinking of unraveling items but sadly they had no crocheted blankets or proper yarn blankets. I'll keep looking!

    @mommamimaashouse Год назад +3

    I used to specifically make blankets to give to thrift stores…for people who can’t afford to buy one made.
    Then I found out a women was buying them up as fast as I could donate them. She would unravel them and used the yarn to make things to sell for crazy prices on marketplace. We live in a tourist area and she made great sales.
    To make it worse, she would charge full price for the yarns she used, plus her time. Infuriating!
    Sadly, that ended my donations.

    The chunky pink one is not safe for babies, nor is the lace one. I'd call it a lap blanket. Loose blankets with holes are deemed unsafe to infants and newborns! They can get broken fingers and all that. The hospital I worked at always had to toss blankets donated for babies that were like that or donate them elsewhere.
