knitting needles, what do you do? With our Guide, you can quickly, easily and
accurately compare what needles you have on hand by placing them over
the image of the size No. 1 bone needle until you find one that matches the
image's gauge size. Plus, our guide carries easily to the craft shop when
you are hunting to find just the right size needle or hook if you
don't have the size needed in your stash. :)
