Hi BeachNanna,

I love working with big needles from time to time. This was project was posted some time ago here on page 10 of the Readers Gallery. http://www.knittingdaily.com/media/p/48982.aspx (in case the link doesn't get you there)

I couldn't resist having a couple larger size 17, 19 35 & 50 needles in my collection. I just love them too! My friend asked me what are you going to do with those? I said, just wait and see, just wait and see Have you decided what to do with yours?

Definitely need to put those 20mm needles to work. If you do an advanced search on Ravelry (free to join) you'll find several pages of patterns for that size needle.

including this one which I particularlly like.

In a fit of enthusiasm about 20 years ago I bought a pair of 20mm nedles to knit something challenging/exciting with. Problem is I can't remember what it was. I have a feeling it may have been something lacy like a shawl.

Can anyone offer any inspiration other than bags etc. and where to get patterns?

Thanks
