Whoosh!


That's the sound my knitting makes with this yarn and size 19 needles.

I started my Biggie Print sweater last night, and it is going so fast it's silly. I blew through the first ball (of 10) in about half an hour. Okay, maybe it was more like 45 minutes, but it would have been half an hour if it weren't for my initial tension issues...

It turns out that knitting with crazy fat yarn requires some special love. I had to switch up my technique to allow for a much looser tension because the varied thickness kept getting caught up in my fingers.

I imagine that if I don't flake out and get lazy, I can have this sucker churned out in a week or so. Awesome.
