I received a package from my Aunt who has been holding onto my Grandmother’s Knitting Gear. Staights, dpns, circulars. These things were a major part of her life and I feel so close to her just holding them. Thanks to Aunty for entrusting me with her mom’s needles.
Tally ‘em up. Cute, but I’m a paper and check-mark girl.

funny I have a bunch of the same needles that I inherited from my boyfriend’s grandmother. It was so cool when his mom gave them to me.

beautiful coloured needles, makes a person happy just to look at them. I’m a paper and check girl too, even though I have a row counter.

What a neat remembrance of your grandmother.
Could you imagine if we still only had straight needles available for knitting?

I love getting knitting stuff. You must be ecstatic. At least you got pairs of needles. The last I got from someone, had a couple pairs but mostly singles, and no circulars or anything.
Lucky you.

So cool your aunt held onto these needles and lucky for you, you got them 🙂 I like the pic as it is – if I were you (in other words an artsy idea) I might frame a huge color print of the needles and frame it, hang it in my knit area. Thanks for sharing, so beautiful.
