Eye Candy Friday
A few years ago a friend gave me a collection of knitting needles when her mom passed away. I don’t use them much, as I’m an addi user, but I love the way they look in this bucket on the mantel in my craft room. The colors are pretty and they make me think of Lisa and her mom.
Sometimes the simple things make the best photos. And memories.
Make some memories this weekend!

I have my mother in law’s collection. I think I’ll take them out of hibernation and use them as decoration. I love the pretty colors of those ol’ Susan Bates. Addis for me as well!
I have a large collection of my grandmothers needles and keep them in the family heirloom leather fireplace bucket. Love how yours look against the red wall. Heh, I see a pair of Brittanys in the front there. Scarf size 7’s or 8’s?
So pretty. I have all my mom’s old needles – I never thought of displaying them like that! Hers are less dramatic though…
Looks like my pile of knitting needles that Inherited. It is hard to use straight needles.
Wonderful photo. I like the colors and focus. I hope your weekend is FANTASTIC!
Great picture and a wonderful collection. Enjoy your weekend of festivities!!
I like the composition of your photo. Old needles look really interesting!
A lovely photo and thought.
What a great idea! I have my Mom’s needles & her best friend’s needles … but they’re stuck away in a drawer. I might have to find a pretty container to display them in 🙂
I have collections from both grandmothers and my mother (who is still around and borrows them occasionally).
They do make a really nice display, don’t they? I love the bright colors of the old aluminum needles.
I love the needles 😉 I also have a small jar of old metal needles that I never use, but are oh so pretty.
Cute picture. I love the bokeh look of it.
Nice memories too. It’s a double win photo.
Have a great weekend!
Another addi girl here. I do scowl the antique shops for them but haven’t had much luck. TGIF Carole!
They look wonderful against that red wall.
Great photo! I have some needles that would be awesome in a display….now to find space to put them out. I am envious of your craft room. Someday I hope to have one.I thought I was going to be gaining one, but my son is moving back home, so there it goes.
I love straight needles. I know that a lot of people don’t use them any more – but they just speak to me. So pretty!
