I just inherited some needles

My grandmother died 2 years ago. She was an avid knitter and really enjoyed it even in the last few weeks of her life. My cousin recently moved here from Germany and brought all of her knitting things with him. My mother told me that she wants me to have the needles. She sent photos this morning and I'm really intrigued. They look REALLY long but I'm anxious to get my hands on them. I can remember my grandmother knitting with those needles

watch out...knitting is addicting, too, Marion.

I think its wonderful that you are getting your Grandma's needles. I wish I had my grammy's needles.
