knitting is in my genetic code

I totally forgot to blog about this! When Maja and I were up in SSM visiting my parents, my mom generously allowed me to raid her needle stash. And, after sorting and negotiating, I was allowed to take the following: The needles, all Inox, belonged to my maternal grandmother. The wooden cases, the long one for dpns and the little shoe-shaped one for darning needles, belonged to my maternal great-grandmother. I wish I knew how old those wooden cases are -- I'm hazarding a guess at about 100 years old. Maybe one day Maja will learn to knit (and continue to be interested in it) and I'll pass on the needles and cases to her.
