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?
