[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting

[Eileen Scrivani]

Terry:

If you already have a size 13 in one length in bamboo, then you can get 
another bamboo size 13 in a different length.  Just something to make it a 
little different from your other needle.  A few years back, I think but am 
not positive, Lion Brand had plastic circs on the market.  I think they were 
called "Daisy" needles.  I think you can if they are still available get 
them at a Joaan's or A. C. Moore or other big box type shop.
