Knit One Purl Wha?

I can still remember my Grandma's cylinder shaped knitting case with blue flowers on the outside , probably from the 70's(at least thats what I remember it as).  I always loved going into the TV room closet and looking at all the different color and shaped knitting needles.     My Grandma taught me how to crochet when I was pretty young, but after many pitiful tries over the years I never did learn how to knit.

 I love the ones with the little faces!

Forward to 6 months ago and I came across a Kids Learn to Knit DVD at the craft store. I guess a 6 year old on TV was what it took to teach me how to knit, because this time around I finally got it! In the beginning of June I started my first knitting project.  It has been crazy slow going, but hopefully I will be finished soon and get some pictures posted.

I don't know what happened to all my Grams needles, but I have since started my own collection.  I have always been drawn to them when i would see them even before i knew how to knit.
