Since there seems to be some interest in needle tatting, I am going to post 
the info in a separate msg on where to get kit and supplies.
I'm really having fun trying to follow patterns in a book that I bought 
several years ago and have since seen described as ADVANCED.

How long are these needles and are they the same diameter the whole length?
The one that came with the kit is 5" long and the same diameter.  The catalog 
shows 3 different sizes for different size threads, just like in 
crocheting/knitting.  Sure like you pricing a lot better.
ttyl,
Donna
