Hey friends, this is where members of Team Big can share questions, answers, hopes and dreams, screams and whispers, and also photos of the gifts they are making from patterns in MDK Field Guide No. 12: Big Joy.
I’m making the Main Squeeze Cardigan in a charcoal gray (Cascade 220 held double), and my teenage daughter said she really wants it, so of course I can’t say no lol. I’m thinking of making one for myself in Plucky Knitter’s Grumpy Old Sailor because I can’t get that color out of my mind after seeing it during their Fall Into Plucky party a couple weeks ago.
I made the main squeeze for myself in Neighborhood Fiber studio chunky “Ziggy Stardust” and loved every minute of it! My cousin asked for the stripy scrappy hat and I couldn’t believe how I could knock it out in a long afternoon. She’s thrilled and I’m eying my scrap bag for inspiration to make tiny ones for the grand nieces and nephews. Jen, I’m a convert to fat yarn.
Hey everyone! My name is Jen Geigley and I’m excited and honored to lead #MDKTeamBig. I’ve been a huge fan of the super bulky life for a loooooong time and I love knitting up cozy gifts. I can’t wait to see what you are working on. I’m just about ready to cast on a Main Squeeze Cardigan with all the navy (Smoky) Rowan Big Wool you see in this pic. Anyway, hi and welcome to Team BIG!
I got my first Brambleberry Cowl on the needles during my lunch hour. This is the first year that I am trying to knit something for (almost) everyone. Team Big is the only way to get it done!
I have done two “small” versions of the Brambleberry cowl for my BFF’s birthday. She gave me her favorite hat and asked me to make her a scarf or something to match. She LOVED them both.
