A huge pile of knitting neddles of all sizes sits on a wood table. I have not counted, but there must be at least 50 pairs if not closer to 100.

Huge thanks to my friends for all the donated knitting needles! They are now nicely organized by size and ready to go to the Ottawa CNIB hub, where I am facilitating a visually impaired knitting group for the first time today.
