[Nfb-krafters-korner] Marking needle/hook sizes

[Lovette Yewchan]

Hi there.
I don’t actually mark my needles but I bought a needle gauge and it has holes in it. So if hole number 9 is a 7 needle, I know this because I brailled plastic small sheets with the sizes in order of the holes from smallest to largest.
