[Nfb-krafters-korner] double pointed needle holder

[Annette Carr]

I was going to use magic loop, but I did not have the right sized needle in
a long enough length.  I have not ruled that out as a final solution.

Thanks,
Annette

Annette:

Have you tried using Magic loop for your project?  I know when you have a
really small number of stitches it can still be difficult, but magic loop
might work.
