Merry Christmas to me!

Lookie what I got! This was my grandmother's set of knitting needles and crochet hooks. (Not to mention various other things!)

We found the price tags to be quite entertaining. For example there was a circular needle with a price tag of $1.08 and a cable needle for a price tag of 98 cents.

Grandma had a thing for size 10 1/2 knitting needles (there are 4 sets) and size J crochet hooks (there were 3, but I am with her on that one, I am quite partial to that size as well). I am very excited to find the Tunisian Crochet Hook. I have really wanted to try my hand at Tunisian crochet but I couldn't find a hook anywhere.

Now with all my grandmother's wonderful knitting needles I will have to learn to knit. So far I have been unsuccessful but I have a new found desire now. :) So who out there wants to be my knitting mentor?????
