Kudos to the school for making him feel better about himself for being able to run two miles now and not hating the process.<br /><br />FiberQathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524481267771726089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-90913141423918359542012-12-14T14:08:55.745+00:002012-12-14T14:08:55.745+00:00I don't know anything about doing maths with t...I don't know anything about doing maths with the old British needle sizes and the US ones, but I do know there was a crossover with the British and the metric.I seem to remember there was something along the lines of 7 is 6 and 6 is 7, which caused a fair bit of hair tearing when the pattern couldn't be bothered to say which scale it was using!
