[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knitting Progress...finally!

[slery]

Maria,

Have you tried Ravelry.com?

They have a chart when you list your needles that have both sizes. Also,
some of the online shopping places will list both for their needles.

Just trying to give you some ideas of places that you can always have access
to.

Cindy
