...I'm not supposed to go in and browse...just drop the bag off and leave...
...but I couldn't resist...just a quick peek in the craft section...and guess what I found...
...3 sets of knitting needles for 29¢ each...
...the blue ones are size 10...the steel ones are really heavy and a perfect size 2...and my favorites are the little bakelite ones and they're between a 2 and a 3 on my Susan Bates needle size checker thingy...
...so I'm guessing they're a metric size 3 or a UK/Canadian size 11 as there's a blank space between US 2 and 3 for that...but I don't have a metric needle size checker thingy...
...so...I guess I'll finish up those socks I started during our vacation down south...and look for a pattern for size 3 mm needles...
I have a set of sock needles that are labeled 2 1/2! What I would recommend is to pick up a copy of Stephanie Purl-McPhee's book Knitting Rules. There is a chapter in there on working a sock pattern using a formula based on your measurements and gauge, so needle size doesn't matter. It's great and I would highly recommend it!
ReplyDeletehaha that's cute, good that what you took was more bulk than what you walked out with!
ReplyDeletelove, k
thank goodness knitting needles don't take up too much space! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen we have stuff to go to the charity shop my beloved insists on taking it. Not because he is chivalrous, no, he doesn't want me to browse around and bring home more stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow needles.
