Strange cat sitting habbits in your family ;-) You are a good daughter and the picture of Gracie is very cute. It's so funny to discover that your socks do look a lot like the ones I am knitting for Toasty Toes. The lagoon spiral is nice, lucky pal.

You might find this interesting. "Until recently there was no standardization for US needle sizes. This means that if a pattern gives both mm and US sizing for a needle (2.5mm/US 2) they may not match up with the new standard (2.75mm/US 2) With the standardization of US sizes, some of the "non-standard" sizes, such as 2.5mm & 3 mm, have become very difficult to find. " That is from the <a href="http://spinblessing.com/inox.htm" rel="nofollow">http://spinblessing.com/inox.htm</a> site. No wonder I can't find any 2.50mm circs. I had better take better care of the needles I have. Who knew, and no one asked the knitters what they would like I have INOX in 2.50mm they use to offer both 2.50 and 2.75mm also the elusive 2.25mm.

There was quite a bit of variation. I was surprised. I hadn't really paid that much attention until then. Yeah, I went through my needles one day and checked them against a needle sizer.

I ended up buying 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm (US 1 1/2 and 2 1/2) That is the sizes I like best for socks. Your TT socks are pretty! Good decision to let them do what they wanted. :) I went through the needle sizing issues not that long ago when I was looking for some new dp’s.
