Trying out lots of new stuff!

Last couple of weeks I've taught myself to knit with hoooooge knitting needles, like......25mm! So much fun if you use the right yarn, which I didn't so got myself into all sorts of muddles. Picture to come when item is finished.

Also learnt tunisian or afghan crochet stitch, again lots of fun.

And for the beads, I learnt how to do Russian Spiral Weave. And then proceeded to make a necklace.

  1. Hey Jen, I love knitting with big needles, it rows so much quicker and I'm very impatient! I usually about 7-10mm. Can't wait to see what you made. Oh and your russian spiral is just beautiful x

  2. Hi Emma, And thank you. Yeah I usually use 10 or 15mm needles but these 25mm are great. Meant to take a pic today, but forgot!
