I am hoping you can help me.

Dear Sun Spots: For the lady looking for double pointed knitting needles (request from Elizabeth Lane, Peru, in Aug. 2 column): I went to Wal-Mart in Oxford. I knit mittens a lot for needy children so I use the double-pointed needles. I got size 7. I’m sure they have others.

Dear Sun Spots: I am trying to find a solid (no plastic parts) clarinet in good working order for my child who has been playing for five-plus years for an extremely reasonable price. My child’s clarinet cracked. We had it repaired, but it did not hold. We cannot afford to purchase a new one. I am hoping that someone out there has a solid, working, clarinet packed away, collecting dust that could be playing sweet music via my child. If you do, please contact me at 627-7745. – M.A.C., Otisfield.
