Reason I love my job number 138:

This is an excerpt from an actual IM conversation between myself and a coworker.

Jack: Would you have any use for a mess of knitting yarn? I have a cardboard carton full that I need to get rid of.
Me: Always.
Jack: You're welcome to it if you can use it.
Me: Thanks very much, I'm sure I can give it a good home.
Jack: do you want me to bring that knitting yarn to work with me tomorrow?
Me: Sure! I'd really appreciate it.
Jack: ok :)

Yes. Just... yes. Even if it's just a bunch of Red Heart worsted weight acrylic I win: There are plenty of projects I have in mind that need.. 'disposable' yarn.

Important Knitting Lessons

8.) Yarn can on occasion be obtained in the most unusual places, in

unorthodox ways... and most amazingly, sometimes for free.

9.) Free yarn can be cheap, scratchy, or ugly... yet it should never be

turned away. The person offering it to you may get rid of some good

stuff later and will remember how happy and thankful you were.
