Probably the biggest pair you'll ever see

thats cool. i didn’t know that there was a national knitting say, lol. the first picture is a little misleading, once i made it bigger i saw how big it really is and they are pretty big. thanks for the post!

Nice eye-catching promotional piece there! Let’s hope they don’t ask you to do something similar for World-Wide Loom Weaving in Public Day!

Mmm that’s a point Randy. Could cause traffic chaos in our little main street too!

see what happens you bait the gate, and we all get suprised. I won’t say what I was expecting!!

The Seattle Mariners Basball team is very proud of the number of knitters who come out to celebrate knitters day. They say they have one of the largest groups in the world. It’s for sure they can’t be proud of thier winning record this year.

how long are they, a meter and a third??

Those are some great needles—should eventually be a collector’s item. I have a large pair (plastic) which I used back in the 70s when it was popular to knit with 5 strands of 4-ply yarn. They’re about an inch in diameter but only about the average length—14-15 inches. They certainly made quick work of knitting a sweater (if you like the REALLY bulky look). Post a picture of Mrs. YS in action with these! She could probably turn out a king-sized afghan in a couple of hours!

Great Job Stewart. But I don’t suppose that you spent much time in the shop with these.

Your biggnus is dully noted. Whatever that means. You should be in line for knighthood for this one. Just think you’ll have all those wenches and peasants and serfs and serfs up. Sir YorkshireStewart, mike

Following your suggestion napaman and lwll, Mrs YS is keen to give them a try after I dismantle the rig (they’re screwed to a wooden former within the ball). I’ll report back – eventually. EdC – I admit to being mischievous! That’s interesting about the Seattle Baseball team though. fredf – yes that’s about right. Ben – thanks for that link; makes our look minute! And Mike – Must wrap up now – I’m just off to yoke up the oxen.
