For my birthday at the beginning of June I received some very large knitting needles 25mm diameter , which is over twice the size of any needles I had in my tube of knitting needles ! Wow I thought , I should really be able to create some monstrous creations in record time now.
Of course in reality this never happened. Big knitting needles have their own problems and there is no way that you can go at any speed. You have to have lots of space as it is impossible to tuck the needles under your arm pits as you do with ordinary sized needles. I took over the 3 seater settee when using mine.
Casting on and doing the 1st row is probably the most difficult and then once you have got over that you are on your way.
She is knitting me using a pair of enormous knitting needles with a 25mm diameter , so big that you can only fit around 30 stitches on it!
Notice the 20p piece in the photo , WOW ! I'm going to be truly BIG !
She needs to find some chunky recycled buttons or beads for fringing to enhance me even further , and in the meantime she is going to keep you (and me) guessing as what my role in my new life is going to be.
If you want to see how I turn out , then please "heart" me , so you can keep track of me
Please do not purchase me yet , I'm not ready and the price and shipping costs have not been worked out correctly
TheFeminineTouch tells me she intends knitting more accessories with her enormous knitting needles so you need to keep an eye on her too.
I've knitted on these. They are hard work, aren't they. Looking forward to seeing the end result!
