bryghtrose alerted me to the fabulous sweater sale at our local Davis Square Goodwill. Any sweater, two-fifty. I bought four - a navy wool (the navy sweater the aforementioned diva gave me didn't work out due to poor yarn quality), a creamy wool that should be great for dying, a bulky wool/acrylic blend that I just really liked the color of (marroon/rust variegated stuff), and *gasp* a sweater to wear. Yes, a sweater that I actually intend to wear on my body rather than ripping into pieces. It is soft blue felted wool and nylon. (I'll admit, I stared at it in confusion for a while before I figured out why it wouldn't be good for frogging.) It is extra-large. Yay, comfy jammy sweater!

I also had excellent luck at Boomerang, earlier in the week. A black cotton/ramie, a pale blue cotton, and a Sooper Secrit Sweater which is going to be turned into a Sooper Secrit Surprise for someone very special.

Finally,

ceelove gave me a lovely burgundy sweater for recycling, in cotton-ramie. (That's why I got the black. Stripes babeee!)

I am kind of tempted to go out again, and visit my other planned sweater death destinations - Planet Aid in Harvard Square and Goodwill in Central. I'm going out and spending ten dollars on sweaters instead of a hundred on yarn, and having a lot of yarn left over. Plus, recycling! Winter is ending - in a few weeks or months they probably won't have many sweaters in stock. That makes it easy for me to justify getting even more sweaters. (You're pointing out that I'm already ten sweaters behind? And it takes me a week to frog and process one? Oh, ye of little faith.)

And yes, I have actually started a project using some of my frogged yarn. When it's done, I'll post it up.
