Big Needles

First off, thank you for the nice comments about my scarf and green hat.  Y’all have a way of making me feel so good!

Now, I’ve had a couple of you ask what size needles I used to make the Pom Pom hat.  The pattern suggested size 19’s.  I remember running out to the store to find some.

Here’s what I knit that hat with:

Yeah, I know.  Them’s some big needles, eh?

I was able to complete the hat in under two hours, and that’s only because I had to seam it up.

Make the hat, people.  Do whatever it takes to bring an embarrassed smile to your own family.

Changing the subject a bit…

I thought I would share these pictures I took of Molly today.

Notice her sewn-up ear?

She’s such a sweet girl, she really is.

  1. Ahh…poor baby! Our two get into fights too…normally they’re the best of friends until something just snaps. Best wishes to your little ones!!!

  2. Hope Molly heals quickly.

    I thought US11 needles were large.

    Now that I’ve started learning sock knitting and using US2, I think US8 in humongous.

  3. Have you ever worked with size 50’s??? I have… they hurt! Your arm muscles have to work to wrap all the yarn around them!!!! Going to have to try that hat though – seriously!

    And your poor baby…… dogs heal so quickly though… hopefully Molly will back to brand new soon!
