I Have a Theory About Needles

They continue to grow after they've been produced. Not much; just a few sizes. A needle that starts out as a size 1 will eventually grow to be a size 4 or so. This explains why I don't have any 1s, 2s or 3s but I have multiple sets of 4s and 5s. That last batch of needles that I ordered wasn't full grown when they were shipped. I probably should have specified that I wanted mature needles when I placed my order.
