So if your interested you can see my blog at:

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this live journal thing - and its taken me a day or so to figure out how to even post on here...ha ha - however i have been keeping up with all the posts for a month or so now.

I've been knitting for years (since my grandma tought me when I was about 8) however i've just recently started learning new stitches and venturing beyond dish cloths, and I'm DETERMINED to figure out socks on double points by the end of the year!

However I have a question. I acquired a box of needles that was passed along from my grandma and aunt - and my own tiny collection - however a bunch have got mixed up, and i'm wondering if there is any quick way to determine the size of double points that have been sitting in a box for a while?

I also have a bunch of circular's that i'm not sure of the size of either. I'm thinking there has to be some kinda of device for determining a needle size? (a piece of paper with different hole sizes perhaps?)

Does anyone know if this exists? And perhaps somewhere in Canada (Toronto) where I could find such a device?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

UPDATE: WOO HOO - i got myself one of those little size things its working wonderful! Turns out i have a ton of the 5.5mm needles and very little of anything else...ha ha - any project suggestions for 5.5 double points..lol
