Noodling Along

Today it's MUCH cooler (and raining) and Tagliatelli on big needles still makes sense, so I'm noodling along. Although the original plan, Sandpiper, got scrapped because I couldn't stand using the heavy, cumbersome baseball bats size 19 (15 mm) needles. Plan B is a modified version of Deep Breath by Kirsten Hipsky, a top-down, in the round, no seams boatneck sweater, on size 15s (10 mm). Here's a semi-formless blob progress photo.



Even these needles are so monstrous that none of my stitch markers fit. I'm using cabone rings instead. I bought a package of cabone rings in the last millennium (I dimly recollect it was for crocheted buttons) and haven't used it up yet. It may well be a lifetime supply.

I'm loving the sweater, but... with the smaller (comparatively) needles, I worry that the burn rate is too high. Oh gah. The sweater is shaping to be another round in the epic struggle, Jersey Knitter versus the Not Enough Yarn Banshee.
