I simply wish to comment that I wish everyone when submitting a pattern for us that they would include the hook size in mm for those of us for instance in Canada, who go by mm not for example the sizes indicated in this pattern. Every time when it is not included I have to look up my chart & find the hook size myself. Sometimes it is an inconvenience. When everyone knows other countries have different sizes they go by, it seems only considerate to me. Thank You.

V-stitch is one of my all-time fav stitches. It feels so good after it's been worked. I only wish the images of the patterns were clickable so it would be easy for these "old eyes" to view.
