I like big stitches and I can not lie…

I am not sure if you all know, but I have an ETSY shop. Yea, little ole me, folks kept asking do I sell what I make and since I was unemployed I said to myself “self, you may as well try” so that’s how GGmadeitbyhand was born. What that also means is it’s just me, so the faster I can pump out the product the better; insert my love for bulky/chunky yarn.   2014-11-29 15.53.42Outside of the fact that big yarn just presents the stitch in such a trendy way and uh I am lazy! LOL there I said it. I am the CEO of #teamlazyashell! I mean I have made things on small needles, but those are once in a lifetime events. I swear to you I will NOT revisit! LOL why do you ask? Well it takes too long. I like to grab my big babies (needles/hooks) and make music. Boy oh boy I love it when it works up fast.

For example, yesterday morning this happened, I had an order for a scarf and uh who has time for going back and forth on small needles? Not I, said the lazy one.

I had some Lion Brand Hometown USA, I held 2 strands together, I chained 100, I did HDC in the back loop and sixty minutes later POW!!! Then yesterday afternoon, when I looked in a bag of yarn (I have so many laying around) and found some Premier Yarn Mega Tweed *insert cheesy grin* I mean the label said Mega, that meant I HAD to knit with it right then..as soon as I found it!! Soo I grabbed the us50s and with the yarn doubled of course,  I went to work..

After maybe an hour or two (I stopped to cook dinner and respond to FB, Twitter & IG) we had what I thought was a winner. I was envisioning a neck warmer that I could add a button to or something..but that didn’t work..so I seamed it up and I wasn’t happy. IMG_2012 IMG_2014

although nice it wasn’t what I was going for; so I took it apart. The beauty of big yarn and big needles is you can do that and still end up with a finished product.

IMG_2016This, my friends, is why I go chunky/bulky super bulky even and if I don’t have it, I will make it. I will hold as many strands together as needed. Ha! try and stop my lazy if you want…you will FAIL! LOL!

Knit on my fiber friends, knit on

  1. This looks amazing. Your store will defiantly do well.💰 You have a great eye. I love my chunky yarns too. I work a lot of my scarves, cowls and snoods with Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. But woah!!!!!! 😳 I don’t know about that crochet hook you have there. Lol!!! 😄 The largest hook I have is N. I made a zip up jacket on Ravelry with it and the Thick & Quick. My largest Knitting needle is 17, but I saw some astonishing chunky yarn at The School Product yarn store. I have to post the photo I took on my blog at some point, but I think I’m just going to put it on Instagram for now. I love the texture of the yarn you’re using. It definitely makes me want to go bigger with my needles 🌟

      1. I’m LargeRoomNoLight on both Ravelry & Inatagram, but I only have the crochet zipper jacket and my first knit hat on there. Well my 1st knit project ever. I only started knitting in 2012.
