This is another one where you're dead wrong. Puh-leeze read this website:

I'm glad you posted Silver Needle, I hope this helps ease your worries! Life gets complicated unneccessarily when people take themselves too seriously, in this case it would be one or two pattern designers who invent silly restrictions. I skip buying from those pattern designers as well.
