I just recently bought a set and Mum told me she had a whole box. She sent me a photo the next day the whole jar of them disintegrated and broke. So be careful where you store them away from heat and extreme temperatures.<br />Lucky I bought the other lot. Mum said they were good for people with arthritis which is what I have. Stay safe everyone.

They are craftmanship at its best: practical and beautiful. I keep all my straight needles in a beautiful jug and tend to use them solely for stuffing soft toys. <br /><br />I also love the idea of you and Gracie swimming together. I almost feel as though I were there with you. I wonder how long you swim for, how many lengths, etc...<br /><br />See you soon dear Teresa,<br /><br />Stephanie xmillefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-88952272056549948022015-01-21T17:52:01.535-08:002015-01-21T17:52:01.535-08:00Looks like you brought a great tan home from Hawai...Looks like you brought a great tan home from Hawaii! such a cute dress too....<br /><br />Those knitting needles are truly gorgeous.

I knit with my circulars for everything, it seems to take the weight off my hands so I can knit for longer periods of time. If I had these needles, I'd keep them in glass jar just like you have them, so they could sparkle and shine in the sunlight. Lovely post.
