Knitting needles? Oh boy - I could NEVER get the hang of knitting!!!!! I can crochet up a storm (made baby blankets for both girls, then one daughter said she really wanted me to make one for her daughter (granddaughter) So, I did - but never could get the hang of that knitting!

I am with you, cannot knit, but have crocheted many many items, including clothing and wall hangings.

Loved making crocheted baskets.

I have a large collection of knitting needles, bought them at auction, at least 50 years ago.

LOL, the small ones like her skewers, I have used to turn things inside out in sewing and for applying glue to projects and many other projects..

And I can only knit, I could never get the gauge right on the crochet projects. I haven’t picked up a knitting needle in years... maybe on the commute to and from work I could get started again.
