Knitting for Giants with Kirsty B

I like birthdays. Even when you happen to be homeless and have banned your husband from spending too much on you, you can ask for frivolous things like – giant knitting needles. These beauties are from the delightful Prick Your Finger in Bethnal Green and cost the very-reasonable-but-too-expensive-to-treat-myself sum of £25. Since I got them, they have provoked reactions of awe and disbelief from my non-knitting friends, most of whom simply can’t believe that they are functional – hence the tiny snippet of knit on there, so that I can prove they’re really, truly useable. Being summer (really?), yarn shopping seems rather bothersome, but in a wee while I’ll be on the lookout for a suitably chunky yarn worthy of such needle grandeur. Watch out for posts about giant scarves and blankets knitted in a day…

Yeah! Maybe I’ll end up with huge muscley arms…

I think Matt is still unconvinced and will remain so until he sees them in action.
