This knitting box was my grandmother's. It must be at least 90 years old!
She was born in 1880. Came to America. Had 9 children and lived with my family after her husband died. I grew up with her until she died in 1963. I remember her knitting mittens for the 17 grandchildren.

I learned to knit when I was 12; owned a yarn shop and was a sales rep for yarn companies. I am still knitting and will never stop! I only wish someone had saved a pair of those priceless mittens.
Happy Knitting!
