Nice! Cool pattern and great handiwork!

And TIL: There’s a different system of needle sizes in the US than in Germany. 00 apparently is a 1.75 mm!

Yes. The US has its own special system of nonsense for needle sizes. Worse yet, it isn't standardized once you drop below 2mm. Sometimes you find 000 1.75mm and sometimes you find 00 1.5mm.
