I Have to Say That Everyone’s Old Granny …

Comment posted How can I find the value of vintage knitting needles and crochet hooks? Anyone know of Bucilla needles? by ukquilter.

I have to say that everyone’s old granny has them tucked away somewhere. I have been to many fairs and events where they sit looking miserable as people pass them by, unless: they are hallmarked silver, old ivory, and fancy designs in pewter/bronze and so on, and even then it will be a small number of specialist collectors. Sorry, I haven’t heard of Bucilla needles.

• Bucilla (the company) is no longer in business. They were bought out by Plaid Corp. Try their website. (apparently they no longer carry hooks and needles) http://www. plaidonline. com/home. asp
  You can also take your needles in to a good yarn shop and someone may know if they’re worth anything. Or try e-bay and see if you can find similar ones and see what they are selling for.

  But since there are a lot of hooks and needles available I don’t think they are worth as much in monetary value as they are in sentimental value.

  very high quality product. I’ve completed a a few of the Santa Ornaments already and everyone is amazed at how beautiful they are. The detailing is challenging but fun. The instructions are easy to follow and accurate. I highly recommend these ornaments for anyone who enjoys a beautiful craft product and a challenge.

  I bought this item thinking that I would be sewing a few ornaments together and attaching the lights. You have to put EVERYTHING together. It’s a lot of work, but so far (I’m not yet finished) it’s very pretty and I think I’ll be proud to have something that I can take out every year for my little one that was made by me. I do wish they gave you more room to cut out the items on the felt though, as they are very close together and hard to get at.

  Like the previous poster, I thought that it required some assembly. . . but in reality it is A LOT of work. Also, there are not enough supplies to finish it. I called the company and they are sending out what I needed, but it’s been over a week and I still don’t have the thread. And you have to buy your own batting and dowel rod with a finial to complete it, so it does not come with everything you need. I can’t wait until I’m done with it so I can use it. (Christmas is less than a week away!!!) I will definitely admire it when it’s done. It’s coming along nicely, and I know the kids will love it, so I think it’s worth all of the hard work.

• Bucilla Santa Poinsettia Tree StockingKit
  I bought this stocking to make for my granddaughter’s first Christmas. I made stockings for both of my children back in the 1980’s. The finshed result of this stocking is absolutely beautiful but it probably took me 20+ hours to finish. It is so much more elaborate than the previous stockings that I did for my children. It is worth the time I put into it, but if you order this stocking, allow at least a few weeks to finish it.
