    Have you seen this on youtube, she does have large hook, not sure if it is quite as big as you need.

    Isn’t that awesome! I really need a giant doily on my floor. I’m on a mission to find the materials.

    I hope that you do not mind me passing on the links, but you were the first big knitter I had seen, I really enjoyed it.

  6. Lovely07-04-2010

    I don’t mind at all.

  8. Nicole Line09-15-2011

    Hi, could you please tell me where you got the giant wool & Knitting needles from? & how much it cost too.

    I am currently in my final year of university and my first project of the year will be concentrating on giant knitting and embellishing the knit, if you could pass on any other information that could help me along the way i would be very grateful.

    Your work in incredible, a real inspiration to me

    may thanks, Nicole

    Hi Nicole,

    I’m sorry, these are pictures I found online, not my projects. Yarnmarket.com I believe has up to size 50 needles, but I don’t know where you’d find these giant kind.

    This is very cool! I would be interesting in seeing the biggest crochet hook.
