freddie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Needles are 20p a pr, 144 skeins silk £10, or 25 for £1.50 all boxed. loads of kits, local charity shop strikes again!! Yes, i weakened!! does anyone want me to pick up the cirular needles(the ones with a needle each end, and a long piece of heavy nylon thread/ropey stuff joining them together) sizes 51/2 or 6mm? I'll post them no probs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi Freddie, Yes please to both sizes of circular kneedles. My Mum wants an Icelandic style chunky jumper knitted and I think they are probably the right size. Please let me know how much I owe you for the needles & postage. You are a star.

Plum Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I went into several charity shops yesterday looking for knitting needles and was told they weren't allowed to sell them - health and safety. What were they going to do, stab the customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ooh how odd, Plum. I'm not sure about used sewing needles and pins, but knitting needles with a sharp point are called javelins - and I can't see anyone trying to lift 2 of those up unless you are King Kong (and you'd get very holey jumpers)! I think Erin's one has knitting needles from time to time - they have wool and other sewing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
