[Nfb-krafters-korner] Crochet and knitting items seen whileaway on a recent trip

[Deb Trevino]

Kathy,  Can you see enough to read the MM and US sizes on the hooks or did 
you write them down.  I have to keep all my hooks and needles in cases so I 
can refer to a Braille chart and they only go so far in the sizing.  I have 
to admit to a lack of knowledge in metrics.
