Thrift Store Finds

I like plastic knitting needles from earlier decades. I like the silky smooth surface and pretty colors. I found these in a drawer at the thrift shop and was especially interested in the aqua pair because I have never seen that color before. It was a common color for interior decor in the 50's but I had never seen needles in that color before. The needles are obviously not in the original packaging since they are definitely not aluminum, but they are size 9.
I think the shop charged me about 50 cents for a pair of knitting needles.

I finished the pattern knitting for the back of my new sweater and am working on the front. It is going faster than I expected for pattern knitting.
