Just have to vent, because I’m struggling to finish this sweater. The body was knit with US 17s (12mm). Now I’m doing the sleeves on US 19s (16mm) because my gauge was too tight with the 17s. I have discovered I don’t like knitting with these size needles. They’re uncomfortable for me to hold and knitting with them feels like a chore.

Vent over. Hopefully I’ll get this sweater off the needles today or tomorrow, and now I know to avoid any more projects using these needles.

Did you manage to finish? Looks like it is going to be a beautiful sweater.

I did! Just a few days ago. I like how it turned out, so I guess the huge needles were worth it.

That looks fabulous! I really like the big stitched and the drape. You are all set for winter. :)
