    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.

    Though I've never done it myself, this is always the right answer.

    the theme today

    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.

    Steel wool stops at 0000.

    Pulled in at 12:04 for today’s noon check-in. For road warrior performance on this latest journey, I give myself an A.

    I do not expect you to retain this knowledge and there will never be a quiz.

    Bostondevil's LTE Knitting Quiz (answers to all questions have been previously posted by Bostondevil in this thread.)

    1) What is the difference between knitting needle sizes in the US versus the UK?
    2) In knitting terminology, what do the following terms mean: SABLE, Tink, Frogging, the Boyfriend Curse?
    3) What is the name of the website where all the knitters congregate to share their collective knowledge?
    4) What are the three kinds of knitting needles?
    5) What kind of knitting needles are typically used to knit socks?
    6) Name one person who is famous for knitting.
    7a) When the US Olympic Committee sued knitters for engaging in an activity known as the Knitting Olympics, what was the response of the knitters?
    7b) What were the rules of the Knitting Olympics?

    Bonus Question (I think I've posted the answer to this but I'm not positive): On the knitting website that is the answer to question 3, there is a much, much, much longer thread than the LTE but with a similar goal called The Very Longest Thread. What is that thread's nickname?

    Honestly, I'm only going for partial credit by taking a shot at half an answer:

    7a) They said the USOC was knit-picking.

    I’m disappointed #3 isn’t knitwit.com.
