I'v got the Neddle..


 

What Ho.........                                                


As you may remember I have recently take up the wonderful all consuming craft of knitting and find that I have an ever growing collection of vintage knitting needles in both Bakelite and plastic and also a knitting needle box.

                                              







I just love this box, even though it is slightly discoloured / faded which is to me all part of it's charm.


                  My local charity shops have so far been a
            good place to pick up vintage knitting needles 
                and at a third of the price that
           I would pay for new heavier metal ones.
 
I truely love my news vintage hobby and although it gives me the needle occassionaly 
I am nevertheless looking forward to
wearing my first handknitted jumper 
made with love by me for me.
