This is what we started with....
What a mess.
But after a few hours this is what we got.
A lot went in the bin, a lot didn't have partners but there were a lot that matched....
After getting 2 complete sets for myself and a few spare of different lengths this is what was left....

Look how many sets there are.
234 sets after I have taken out some for me.
WOW.....
Now I will be making up quilted rolls to put them into sets. I will then be giving them to the community centre where mum was helping out. She was on the committee and also teaching a group to knit. I'm sure they will appreciate it....
That will be another post though..
