I love how it matches her sweater perfectly. That is some fine attention to detail.

This rules. I'll have to find a similar knitting pattern for big projects like this. Maybe to protect a garden from deer?

A solution for cold feet, although making it a BMP might avoid the barrel issues.

The last two years were hell. At 16 weeks pregnant my wife found out she had kidney disease, she spent alot of time in the hospital was induced two months early due to issues with kidneys, our son came out fine and is few days short of one year. I'm very active so sitting around a hospital was driving me crazy I needed something to do but the wife was sleeping alot so I for some reason went with knitting I'm still a noob but working at it

I knit one very similar to this a few years ago and still use it. The great thing about cotton ones like this is you can toss it in the washer and dryer no problem.

92-year-old woman spends two years knitting Sandringham House (a British royal residence). More pics below.     (files.catbox.moe)

An homage to one of the Queen's estates has been recreated in wool by a dedicated 92-year-old knitter.

Margaret Seaman, from Great Yarmouth, spent two years crafting her version of Sandringham House and other buildings.

She said it was "impossible to tell" how much wool was in the piece but she worked on it "on average about 10 to 12 hours a day".

The finished item is 18ft (5.5m) by 6ft (1.8m) and features in the Norfolk Makers' Festival at The Forum, Norwich.

"After I lost my husband I joined a knitting group, and it all snowballed from there," Ms Seaman said.

"And then I just thought, if I can think of something to do that we can show to people, and raise money for a charity, it would be something worthwhile doing. That's how it all started."

Most of the pics:

1964: SHETLAND SHAWLS are more valuable than GOLD - BBC Archive     (youtu.be)
submitted by NeedleStack to Knitting 9 months ago (+11/-0)
2 comments last comment...
https://youtu.be/0JX-Le5WDhs

From the video description:

Cathal O'Shannon reports from Unst, northernmost of the inhabited British Isles, where he has discovered a material more valuable than gold or platinum - the island's intricate gossamer shawls.

Shetland shawls are made from the gossamer wool that surrounds the neck of Shetland sheep, which must be hand-plucked, not sheared. There are fewer than half a dozen people left with the skill to spin this incredibly fine wool into thread, and a single shawl can use as much as six miles of the stuff. Allied to the relative scarcity of the material, there are perhaps as few as a dozen women capable of knitting these extraordinary garments - which can incorporate more than half a million loops - so they're probably only going to get more valuable.

This clip is from Tonight. Originally broadcast 5 May, 1964.

This is a great method of ensuring your yarn will make a proper-fitting hat.

The tutorial also gives you instructions to complete your hat.
