Needles 2.0
Have I mentioned that I love vintage knitting needles? I just got these ones earlier this week. They're mostly old Patons, Aeros and Parfreys and in their previous lives they were well-loved by an Australian knitter. I've adopted them and plan to put a little more wear on them before they retire.
The weather was perfect today. I took these pictures with all the windows open and a warm breeze blowing through. I didn’t have time to get many photos taken before it got dark though, so I’ll have to wait for a nice sunny Saturday and get a few more.

how fantastic!! I used to buy old knitting needles off ebay...but then got swept away by circulars. I almost never knit on straights anymore!

Dang, that's a lot of needles. I love needles. Unlike yarn, you can keep them forever and look at them.

Great vintage needles! I have a bunch of old aluminum needles that my grandmother gave me. Some of them are featured on my blog's masthead.
