This time last month I wrote a post about my amazing discovery whilst on holiday…the Sheep Shed in Ludlow, where I bought a pair of gigantic knitting needles! I shredded some jersey fabric and got to work. I have to sit on a stool as the needles are so long! I was going to make a bath mat, but once I had stood on it I decided that it simply had to be a super squishy rug to go by my bed.
All about Sprout 
Beautiful! I have to get me some of these needles!x
They are a necessary piece of kit 🙂
This is epic! I have a project in mind for my jersey yarn but it is one of a super long list of to dos. I really like the doubled up colours. Yey for giant crafting! X
Thank you 🙂 I picked my favourite colours.
I ♥ it! How ginormous did it end up?
Its about 20 inches wide and about a metre long – so quick to knit.
I really want some giant needles now, that looks fab!
I think mine are 60mm!
This looks amazing. Another brilliant creation. Is there nothing that you cant turn your hand to. You certainly have lots of ideas.
Thank you! Its very satisfying that it knits up so quickly.
this is really cool! I was given some massive knitting needles, but i was never quite sure what to do with them, but this is a fantastic idea!
Thank you! This was super easy and very satisfying. My needles are 60mm and I had about 15 stitches.
i love your creations, i have tagged you in a post here: http://notjustamummy.wordpress.com/2012/06/16/a-new-award/
Thank you so much 🙂
This is brilliant! It looks like it would be such a comfortable rug to have in your room. I like the marling you did 🙂
Its so squishy – it makes getting out of bed easier 🙂
Wow – it turned out really well 🙂
Thank you. I’m really pleased with it.
That’s beautiful Georgina! I tried using those needles at a craft fair last year – man alive they are an all-over-body-workout!!!

They certainly are and no-one can sit near you for fear of being whacked!
Wow that’s amazing! I had no idea you could get knitting needles that big!The rug is beautiful! xxx
Thank you! I have to sit on my own otherwise they hit people!
Love this! I’m just making a crochet bath mat to match the vintage hexagon tiles in our bathroom
Thank you! Wow I can’t wait to see that, it sounds awesome.

Hurrah for enormous knits. Thank you Georgina, I’m off to buy some huuuuge needles!
Excellent! Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed my post.
Fab rug, love it! You even fit in time between your crafting to keep your floor super shiny! Now that is impressive (and where I fall down!)
Thanks Ali!
