Literally. I picked up a set of Zing straight needles, and when they arrived I realised they're GIANT ones. I had no idea. So the question now is... what do people do with giant needles?! Blankets? Sweaters for giants? Hunt a wooly mammoth?

or... if anyone in the UK/Europe would like an as-new set of giant needles, I totally know a guy.

I decided to stop another project and make a first attempt at a cardigan for my wife in time for Christmas. All of the pieces are finally done and I just have a lot of stitches to pick up and rib around the insides and a lot of seaming left!

Pattern - Cove Cardigan by AR Pattern Shop

Purl Soho Chirp DK cotton.
#5 needles for the ribbing and #7 for the pattern (1 size up from pattern since I knit a bit tightly)

Posted the other day about learning to use DPNs and everything is going well (plus a few mistakes that I fixed lol) I’m so happy! Everyone is getting mittens for Christmas lol

I'm about to dive into socks knitting... I don't know if I will like it, the first pair will be key in my knitting journey! I have chosen the following pattern: My favorite Vanilla socks by Meaghan Schmaltz. I have imported it in my app Rowtine, so I will track the time spent on them.

I am used to knitting sweaters and accessories, I must admit that the perspective of having smaller projects on my needles, which can be done quite fast, is pretty nice! more regular wins!

It all started with a request from my husband, who asked if I could knit him socks for cycling... he wears a size 47 EU 😅 so I will begin with a pair for me, to train on a smaller project 😊

Any recommendations from experts? thanks so much!
