I made it to the yarn shop today and got some nice 50% merino in fuschia for one of the Big Girls Knits I fancy (and at about a quarter of the price of the recommended yarn it's still more that I woul pay for a ready made sweater). I also discovered that they don't do double pointed 3.25mm any more, which is an arse cos I have a body done in that and need to make the sleeves. Does anyone have any they can lend me, or shall I adapt the pattern to straight needles?

At least I have the needles for the body of the fuschia pattern so I can start on that and, er, worry about the sleeves later (that one wants 40cm circulars for the sleeves, which the shop also doesn't do.)

Once day I will have a whole garment. Probably.
