Charity Shop Bargains

I've always wanted to get into charity shop shopping! Since I've started uni I've been in the shops more often... basically because there are a lot of good quality knitwear companies based in the Scottish Borders.
I am now in 3rd year doing Design for Textiles and for one of my classes we have to re-design a knitwear company - Peter Scott. We were told to get some 100% wool garments from charity shops so that we can print on them (yes even my printing class has to design for it). I bought a lot of things! I have to be honest I think I am actually going to keep most of them!
