I helped my neighbor with her garage sale over the last two weeks. She gifted me with all her mother's knitting needles. There's nothing more nostalgic than ancient loot. Some of these needles are from Goldblatt's. Who remembers Goldblatt's? That was from the era before the shopping mall. I found a set of "mitten pins" and "sock pins". I've never heard dpn's called that before. Needless to say they were in sets of four.
