Wool experience

I was given some extra large knitting needles as a present and had a go at knitting with them. You need to use at least 5 balls of wool at once, although my friend used 9. I don't do that much knitting so I only had these 5 colours to use. I was pleased at how quickly it knits up and I made this simple shrug to try the needles out. You need to sit in a big space becausethe needles are so long! I want to have a go at making a throw for the lounge next but must go shopping for wool first. Maybe I will try Oxfam and other charity shops for cheap wool.
