More knitting

Benedict's picked out a couple of patterns he'd like me to make for him. If I could get to Arbury Court or the town centre, I could buy the yarn I need for about a fiver. As it is, I can't leave the house. Anyone fancy a trip for me? He wants sky blue acrylic dk, 500g or red acrylic aran, 500g.

Ah, never nmind, there's the postman bringing the yarn for my new top, so I'll do that first and his next.

UPDATE; he's decided that he'll have a moss stitch jumper in a sort of black with coloured flecks yarn I already had. My top can wait, he's been waiting long enough. (And so has Col, I've not forgotten, I've just lost the pattern for his jumper.)

You shouldn't need longer needles than normal (although I wouldn't use the 8" children's needles), but you might want to use circulars to ease weight on your wrists. I mean, most jumpers or whatnot use at least 100. YOu just scrunch the stitches close together while they're on the needle.
