For those of you who don’t know – this has been a rather epic long project for me.
It was originally started life with the intention of being a christmas present for my husband 3 1/2 years ago. At that point I had no idea about size of wool in relation to needle size.
“I’ll just knit a scarf and that will be really easy,” I thought to myself.
What I didn’t twig onto for a while (at which point I was too stubbon to restart) was that knitting with chunky wool on 2 3/4 needles is actually a form of self punishment.
Stitch: garter
Needle size: 2 3/4
Length: 75 inches (14 rows of 50 stitches per inch).
Stitches: 52500

Oh my that was torture , but it looks very smart
Thank you 🙂
Well done for persevering. Hope hubby’s pleased with the scarf.
Thanks 🙂 Seems to be. Although we’re in the middle of summer so it will be some months before it becomes useful! 😉
But just think how versatile black accessories are!
Oh wow – I didn’t know you were working with such a small needle! I tip my hat to you for persevering. It looks wonderful and I bet he’ll be nice and warm this winter 🙂
Thanks 🙂 i do plan on avoiding tiny needle projects in the near future though! 🙂
Lol, so there’s no convincing you to join in on the Thursday Sock-Along then 😉
Soon. Just attempting a new WIP (some wrist warmers) then will try some socks 🙂 Figured the Wrist warmers were slightly easier.
Lol! My socks are looking like wrist warmers right now 🙂 Maybe I should have gone for that first…. Ah well. Hindsight.
I’m about to attrmot to create the thumb… wish me luck!
All the very best of luck!!! Maybe wrist warmers aren’t easier than socks….
I’ll get back to you on that one…
Also, I wanted to mention that I think Sock Thursdays are going to be a thing, so when/if-ever you want to join in, you are more than welcome 🙂
