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 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



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...

BOBS those patterns are gorgeous ive just printed them off thank you

It's my first foray into the world of circular needles after knitting on straights for 3 years....I'm a bit nervous!
