Knitting Needles - my favorites
"Richard Eney" wrote in message ... In article , Mary Fisher wrote: "Richard Eney" wrote I once saw some knitting needles that ahd been carved from moose antler tips (which are long and thin naturally). Since antlers are thrown and regrown every year, they are renewable, like fingernails. The needles were long and slender, and rather expensive, ... forgot to say that they're expensive because of the work which goes into them. Of course. The ones I saw had little flat ends where the tine had come out from the wider antler; that part was carved into a tiny leaf shape. That sounds lovely - but not historically authentic for our period. He could make some just for me but I really don't need any more needles :-) Mary =Tamar |
