Easter Clues To A Vintage Knitting Surprise

The embarrassing agony was worth it in the end. My basket contained a vintage paper envelope for a Boye metal circular pin. I’ve found the needles at estate sales, but never the original packaging. Bill rescued it from a favorite thrift shop on the way home from work.

It made my day.
