Vampire slaying and knitting all in one combo, I see good things for the future.
One of my Tardis blankets is quite scratchy, and I feel that it will be too scratchy for sensitive baby skin, so I am going to frog that and knit a blanket with these instead. I will have 3 strands of yarn, I might pick up a ball of white and do 4 strands, then it will be bigger and far more substantial. Now I think the claim to fame of these needles is that you can knit a blanket in 6 hours with them, so I guess I will be timing myself with this project to see how it goes.
The night I bought them I did complete about a 5 foot long scarf in 3 hours, it was out of a fluffy baby wool, but it was quite cozy. I have high hopes for this blanket.The big test, they were fun. I cast on 60 sttiches and then proceed to knit about 61 rows and cast off on row 62. What I got was a HUGE blanket, the needles are only about 12 inches long, but I think another 10 cast on stitches and another 10 rows would have made a difference. So it is around 4 feet by 4 feet, and looks fairly snazzy.
Notes: I found it was quite easy to drop a stitch when working on this, so you kind of need to pay attention, and when I do this again, I think it would be beneficial to have 5 or maybe 6 strands of size 4 yarn. I am also trying to think of a pattern that you could work on this and make it more visually stimulating. I will keep you posted .
Have fun giant knitting.
