Wow what a day

My husband and I sat down and worked together in the lounge room. What we were doing, it took forever, was to sort out my mums knitting needles....
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..
