    Morning
    Off to Crete for a late holiday. Taking FIL who has Lung Cancer and Dementia, so more a change of scenery than a holiday.

    Have my knitting packed!

    Hope it all goes well, and is not too stressful for you. Your knitting will keep you going! :).

    I decided on socks for me :D and plumped for the Ampersand Upside Down pattern from Ravelry as I like to knit socks toe-up and the pattern was free :money: I turned the heel this morning and feel like Cinderella, trying it on to see if it fits :D

    Yarn is stashed Colinette Jitterbug in the colour way Summer Berries; I love the colour combinations (although they look more muted IRL than this photo with flash) and the stitch definition is lovely.

    Hi - can I ask for some advice about needles?

    I need to buy some circulars with interchangeable tips, and need 5mm and 7mm for the pattern I'm about to start. I have NO IDEA what I'm looking for or where to get them from - can anyone help?

    Thanks...
