Huge Needles

On Saturday, my friend Kerry, and I went to Bunnings to collect some gardening stuff I had planned for the garden.

Along with some garden soil and a new oregano, and metal edging I bought a piece of dowel.

I had plans for the dowel. Yesterday, I went to my folks place to get it cut into 2, one end of each tapered, and something on the ends... and hey! My own knitting needles to make a massive blanket!

Larger needles create eye-catching stitches that add visual drama to a blanket. Wishing you joyful progress with your project.

@sewfree thank you. Dad had fun with them! He saw the novelty in them... but the yarn is snagging, so I've had to undo everything and season them with olive oil. And then I may have to wax them.

A fun challenge…

@joansmor they were fun to make. Last night I rubbed olive oil into them - a couple of coats actually - and this morning, they feel so nice!
@beverley365 oh! It is!
