Vintage Knitting Box

Vintage Knitting Box
You know that scene in Amelie, where she finds the cigar box full of the young boy’s treasures? That happened to me today. While cleaning my desk, I discovered a box of knitting supplies that a customer had given me several months ago as a donation to the Guild. If I recall correctly, they had belonged to a relative who had passed away, and no one else in the family wanted them. I forgot about them til today. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened it up. I’ve put the photos up on Flickr.

  1. OMG!!! That is so beautiful. This ranks as one of the best things I’ve seen in a while. How uplifting.

    I’m going to make one of those belt knitting bags. Not that I wear many belts, nor do I usually like things attaced to belts (like those icky mobile pouch things) but maybe I can attach it to my pram.

    Oh and the lace, I recognizes it! I have a length of it myself that i started but couldn’t figure out how to mitre the corner (mmm maybe I should give it another go) I think it’s Beaconsfield lace…

  2. thats so cool… i love vintage stuff!

  3. I loved the box of knitting stuff and I don’t even knitt.
    Good luck on your new job(adventure) sweetie.
