[Nfb-krafters-korner] Crochet and kniting items seen whileaway ona recent trip

Thu Mar 27 19:17:06 UTC 2014

Sorry I just forwarded them without personalizing the messages.  I will 
send knitting patterns for large needles within the next day as I only sent 
Joyce crochet patterns and they are on an external drive.  What size needles 
would you say qualify as large needles?  I think I saw patterns in my 
collection for 10 or elevens.  Would you like those?
