Hi Guys!
One thing that I thought was really interesting was that all of the needle sizes correlate with colors: at least in the U.S.
If you are from another country, please let me know if it is also the same!!
I also thought it was interesting that the larger the number... the smaller the needle.
For example: 
An 18 Gauge Needle is larger than a 25 Gauge Needle.
So I really hope that this video teaches, inspires & motivates you :)
If so, please give the video a "Thumbs Up" post a comment & subscribe to the channel!
I cannot wait to meet you!!
Much Love,
