It's official. I'm spoiled. I now own a pair of Brittany Black Walnut knitting needles (size 6.5mm), thanks to my husband. I've always admired these hard-to-find needles and wished for a pair, though I was never willing to pay the price for the ones I would see on ebay. John gave these to me as an anniversary gift, even though we had agreed we would not buy gifts this year, just go out for a nice dinner. After 22 years, I should have known better. He says they're not really a gift, just a tool. Of course, being the practical one, I stuck to our agreement and only gave him a card. Pitiful! The very least I can do now is to knit him some socks...out of Trekking (XXL)..and he can Trek Along With Me too.
(R-L) Color #115 and Color #113
Those needles are so nice! Congratulations on your anniversary, and I can't wait to see his socks!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary! And thanks for the link to the Trekking knit along -- I signed up too! Can't knit preemie stuff all the time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a loving gift from hubby. After 27 years, my husband still gives the better gifts. Can you tell you hubby to E mail my hubby my list?
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and many more to come.
Congratulations on the Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThe needles look lovely. I have watched those on ebay but also never paid the price. You will have to give us a review on how they feel compared to other wood needles.
The lace washcloth in the post below is lovely too!
You need a little case for your socks that you can put a travel sticker on for each park you hike at ;)
Those needles are breathtaking. Great sock colors too. :)
