Crochet Thrift Store Finds - Let's Get Inspired about Crochet!! 

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 would buy them and give them to nursinghomes, shelters, homeless

Beautiful blankets, sad no one appreciates them

It makes me sad to see all someone’s hard work and love going for a pittance in a thrift store!!!!

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! ♥🇺🇸🦄🧚

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 ❤

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.

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.❤❤❤

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.

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.

Hi Glenda and Laurie I just love when you share your crochet finds at thrift stores gives me great ideas keep the videos coming thank you😊

Hi Ladies, Thank you for sharing your beautiful finds. It’s beautiful that there are people who are so giving. Take care and stay safe and well. God bless you all always 🙏🏼🧶💗🦋😻

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.

Amazing. How sad. All that work.

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 🤗💖

These items are so nice. Thank you to you and Sis for showing them

You can prove your sister wrong and crochet a prayer shawl 😅

They’re all so well made. I’d buy them for gifts!

Love this video idea! Please do more thrift store finds.

The yarn alone would have cost so much more. Its a great opportunity for someone on a low income to grab a great bargain! My local charity shop was selling crochet blankets for 50c!

Beautiful fall color ripple blanket

Its a great deal for someone that can't crochet and just want a beautiful blanket. Thanks for sharing!

Love that lacy light blue blanket. I would use it for a cover for my coffee table.

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.

i have donated several blankets and amigurumi toys I have crocheted to our local Salvation Army and hope that someone comes along who appreciates the work and enjoys my projects.

all so beautiful they were made with love I also crochet thank you for sharing

Such pretty blankets and shawls!! All that work and being sold for such inexpensive prices. I hope that the people who buy them know how much work went into each one. ❤

I love rescuing crochet blankets

The crazy b!anet & the ripple blanket are my Favorites And the prices are absolutely amazing could never get blankets that cheap here in Nevada.

I saw a few that I would have bought. So beautiful.

Wow, beautiful blankets cheap price.😊

Love these "fishing" trips! Oh heck, I love all fishing and trips too, for that matter!!! Thanks girls! 😊❤

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.

Very nice blankets. Hopefully someone will buy them then donate them.

I love checking out the thrift stores

that lacy one is a breast feeding blankie/privacy blanket.

I really have a great respect for your beatiful and lovely work. It's sad to see this. Greetings from MEXICO

I made prayer shawls years ago. And they never went to a thief store. We would give them to someone was sick or who had lost a love one.

Great prices at that store !

It’s so sad all the hard work and done with love for a tiny new life

So sad to see someones hard work discarded! Some people don't have a clue of the time and love a crocheter puts into their work 😢

Loved seeing all the blankets! Thank you.

Beautiful works of art. Some lucky people are going to enjoy a real bargain. Thanks for sharing.

Sisters, lol. She might make something in crochet! Let her keep her dreams!

Beautiful crochet blankets! Thanks Laurie for modeling the blankets and shawl! 😘💕

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.

Beautiful blankets. Love the lacey blue blanket and prayer shawl too. Thanks for sharing Glenda and Laurie

Hi Glenda and Laurie Beautiful crochet patterns! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching both of you, you both make my dayTake care!😊

What a bounty you came across today! I see them as a beautiful blessing to someone with limited resources! You and your Sis are so much fun. “You’ll never crochet anything.” 😂😂😂

Wow. All these crochet blankets are nice. I can’t believe the price. Someone is getting a amazing deal. I do enjoy seeing the mix of colors.

Great for donations!

Loved this vid. I also check out the blankets at garage sales

I never think to check out the thrift shops! Thanks for sharing your finds and your sister 😊❤

Great video I love seeing you and sis together and the ideas some people have for colors and stitches in different items

I loved all the blankets but particularly the last green prayer shawl. Very pretty stitch.

If only I have the yarns like you have. I will be happy in my crochet process.

WOW so many great crochet items there!!

BLUE LACY BE PRETTY FOR BAPTISM EVENT

I see a lot of afghans at my thrift store. Some really pretty not even used.

Hi Glenda and Lori thank you for showing me all those beautiful Afghan wow the price is very good Glenda you need to sit down with Lori again and give her a lesson to your single crochet chain two single crochet stitch I bet you could do it Lori please try. Please showing us the results I have faith in you Lori even if it's a small little blanket for your cats you are learning. .It is relaxing for me . Beware make sure you do it in a area where there's no cats because my one cat loves my yarn. He pull it out of my bag when I am not looking. Ha Ha!!

I would move by you just to go to that thrift store! We have nothing like that where I live .

❤ Beautiful blankets 😍

the price was so right with those blankets

Hi Glenda love the top that Laurie has on.

All of them are beautiful. My local food bank would have loved to have them to hand out at the church. Thanks for sharing them. It did upset me knowing they were so cheap when there are ways to hand them out. Hugs 😇😊

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!

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!!

Very nice afghans/ blankets. Hi Lori.😊

Thank you for sharing.

Luv them!! Thks

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.

Sorta sad to see these hand made, hard worked on items in the thrift store!!!! Yes, someone will get a chance to buy and enjoy them but nobody loved them enough to keep them. Makes you think though as to why they ended up in the thrift store...........

I recycle patterns and projects I don’t care for and use the yarns to create something new.

I love your sister 😂

Sad to see all these beautiful works of art at Goodwill. Makes you think what people do we things you make for them 😢

With the price of yarn going up and hard to find especially here in Canada, since we only have Michaels and Walmart.

She should try to crochet to crochet if she wants to. Encourage

I can't believe that there were that many there 😳

Beautiful 😊

Laurie aka Vanna White!

Hi GLENDA I would like to know where I could get the the wool for making scrubbies thankyou very much for the information have a nice day god bless you 😊🙏

I do crochet blankets

🤗

Not to change the subject, but what about the pattern and hand dyed yarn giveaway?

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.

What state are you in ? California thrift stores are much higher
