Knitting and cross stitch

Post by Firestarterr »

I am not sure where I should put this exactly,

My grandmother passed away a couple of years ago and I got all of her things (Mainly knitting and cross stitch stuff). I do not like knitting, if fact I hate it :banghead: but I don't want to through them out and I don't know if they are worth giving to the local salvation army. There are knitting needles, straight needles, these odd connected needles, holders, ect. I also don't know if there is anyone on here that would want them.

I also have a few cross stitch kits and was wondering if I could send them to the Vault or if someone on here wanted them.

Any other suggestions as to what to do with this stuff would be awesome.

Thanks!!!
Becca

I would be interested in some of the knitting stuff. I just got into it and I have some knitting needles, but always am looking to expand. :)

I, too, am always looking to expand my stash ( to my fiancé's horror).

All I have is needles and holder things. The yarn was been ruined by the kitties she had. Is there something specific you wanted? I will take a count of what I have a post it later today or tomorrow

Needles and holder thingies are fine with me. I have some sizes, but those circular ones sound good, as I only have straight ones. Right now, I'm just stashing them freely in one of my cross stitching bags. :-/

If you have any of the smaller size needles, I'll gladly take them off your hands.

I definately think you should send the cross stitch kits to the vault, still early days and those vaults need filling!

I totally understand. *hugs* And I'm more than willing to pay for the cost of shipping. Least I could do. :)

Wow. I didn't expect that many sets of circular ones. Would it be possible if I could have one of each of them? Also one of the carrying case thingies would be great as well. If there's someone else would would really like something and there's not enough, I can give up one if need be.

Again, a huge thank you, Firestarterr. :)

I understand too. I'll help with the shipping costs as well.

Any of the metal sets that you don't send to Kareesh is fine with me. I have a bunch of needles as it is, so she can get first picks. Also, if Kareesh doesn't want the books, I'll take them as well.

Thank you so much, Firestarterr
