Happy Holiday Knitting

First off ... Happy holiday and a happy new year! Second, my wonderful mother-in-law gave me a ton of old Susan Bates, Boni Jean, and Marcia Lynn stuff. My question to you all is...do I use it or keep it untouched? I don't think they are worth anything, but, you just never know.

On a lighter note, don't you wish needles were still a $1.00!!!!
