Colour me tickled when I found out had started selling interchangeable tips in smaller sizes than a 3mm! Available in 2mm - 2.75mm sizes, they come in a lovely wee pack with special cables just for these teeny weeny needles.

It's nearly Saturday.

Shop dog will be around early to pretend he gets no affection at home and accost every stall holder for pets and treats. He has no shame.
