big yarn, big needles | Talitha Kuomi

and the idea of using the supersized needles,

then you might want to take a peek

also worked in huge yarn, this cowl takes a smaller amount of it.

200g (150g if you’re really careful with keeping short tails) is all it takes.

that, size 35 needles and a stitch marker…

well, they don’t really make stitch markers for needles this big,

so what you need is a scrap of pretty yarn

long enough to make a loop that fits around the needle

with enough left over to tie a knot.

now you’re good to go.

it’s an adventure to knit this big.

it uses different muscles and exaggerated motions

and i find it very, very satisfying.
