Northcote High St

I had a day off from preparing for next Saturday's Yarraville Market so I took Little Jack for a stroll to two op shops on opposite ends of High St in Northcote.

We started at the south end at Brotherhood of St Laurence, 12a High St. Little Jack sat with the op shop lady and pulled faces, and I picked up a long sleeved top for $4 and a worn-in pair of shoes for Jack, also for $4.

Then we headed north to Mental Illness Fellowship at 454 High St. As well as a pair of Target trousers for Little Jack ($2) I found the following treasures:

They had half a rack of new hand-knitted baby jumpers for $6 a piece! This one won't fit Little Jack until next winter (or the winter after) but for $6 I'm happy for it to take up space for that long.

The rug is crocheted, I suppose. Can any crochet fans confirm this? I saw a similar one at a CWA-style stall at Northcote Plaza a month or so ago for $50 and almost bought it, so when I saw this one for only $8 I snapped it up!
