There are 2 Boye cases of 18s, but they are rusted, . . . You may be able to rescue those needles. Try cleaning them with oxy-clean. . . . Will get some oxyclean. My DH says beet juice is supposed to clean rust off, lol.[/quote] Evapo Rust is the best rust remover ever--and non-toxic. |

I guess that's what this thread is for, isn't it?! :D And yes, I recognize the fact that I'm a hoarder. And that's OK, too. |

I apologize if what I typed seemed offensive, it was not meant that way. I'll try to be more careful in the future...
The hoarder shows always have an "intervention", and indiscriminately toss stuff out. I think that would send me into a tailspin, so I have been steadily sorting and getting rid of the things I will never use. I make regular runs to Goodwill!! |
