I did not know there is a difference! My last attempt to put needle to thread was in mrs Howe’s (who was too cool for school) 4th grade Art Class when I tried to knit a rendition of the White House when it was being burned by the Brits in 1812.. Mrs Howe took away my project after I had blasted through two balls of red 🧶 (true). That was kind of it as far as knitting needles go, then it was back to eating paste on a double-dare.

horrific rainy cold day, so the priorities are to get the dog to poop, then clean out the kennel now that most of the snow is gone (many big brown mounds to tend to) then I'll apply the splendid Fiskars tool to the 70 ft pine tree lying in the yard. Hard not to get excited about the day.
Dodged another round of tornados in TN last night. Up 'til 3:30 this morn watching the TV weather nerds play with their cool radar toys. Two confirmed tornados in abutting counties.
There is a difference. In UK sizes, the bigger the number the smaller the needle. In US sizes the smaller the number the smaller the needle which leads to there being sizes of 0, 00, 000, 0000, and crazily enough 00000. Canada just uses millimeters, no sizes.
So, back to the catheter question, a UK size 10 knitting needle is 3.25mm in diameter and a US size 10 knitting needle is 6mm in diameter.
