The discovery space shuttle supposed to land at houston but for the reason that i dont knowWhen they want to return it to Houston, they will put on top of a boeing 747 before sending it back to Houston.Its like in the Superman movie, a space shuttle was attached on top of a plane.Howd they do that?
The majority of patterns tell you what size needles to use when you are making somethingI have been making quite a few sweaters and using the 4 ply and 6 needles for the ribbing and the 8 needles for the bodyWhat you are speaking of is really a standard size yarn as opposed to the bulky, sports, or baby yarn.
The ballband will give you a suggested needle sizeFor example, Vanna's Choice yarn by Lion Brand says Gauge: 6 sts + 22 rows 4 (10 cm) on size 9 (5.5 mm) needles, and Red Heart Super Saver by Coats Clark says Needle: US 8 (5 mm)But that's just a suggestionEverybody knits at a different gauge (aka tension)I'm a super-tight knitter, so I would try a US size 10 or 10.5And the needle size also depends on what kind of drape you want, meaning whether you want the fabric loose open (like for a wrap) or firm tight (like for a bag)Most patterns will give you a gauge, expressed as x stitches y rows equals 4 inches (10cm)You need to use whatever size knitting needle you need to get that gauge.
You are absolutely right that there is more variety in worsted weightSince worsted weight is larger than DK weight, you will definitely need to made a gauge swatch to figure out how to adjust your stitches so the resulting cardigan will fitI wouldn't try it, but if you're an experienced knitter, you should be able to adjust the pattern so it will fitIt may be something as simple as using the counts for the next smaller size sweater than you actually wear (since the stitches will be larger)Good luck!

Well the shuttle never lands in Houston for one, just wanted to clarify thatThe mate the shuttle to the SCA (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft) using a fixed structure called the MDD (Mate Demate Device)Its basically a fixed crane that lifts the shuttle up using a slingThe jet then rolls under the shuttle and they lower it down and bolt it onCheck the NASA website for further details if you are still interested.
