puzzler

my friend, pam, recently found this

and knowing my love for larger needles,

she presented it to me.  i love it, but i don’t get it.

it’s a single knitting needle that appears handmadeIMG_6607and is marked with the number ’35’.

IMG_6608the really quirky bit is next.

it has a hole (about 1/4 of an inch across) drilled straight through it.IMG_6609

but, why?

my curiosity is peaked.

i suggested to the saturday morning knitters

that perhaps it’s meant to be worn on a heavy chain around the neck

like a badge of skill (or an 80’s rapper emblem).

they weren’t going for it.

does anyone else have a more plausible idea?
