Knitter Makes a Giant Blanket With Rope-Thick Wool Yarn and PVC Pipe Knitting Needles

Giant blanket

Imgur user and knitter Otterknot found three large bags of wool at a garage sale, which she turned into rope-thick yarn and then into a giant, fluffy blanket. After lightly felting the wool, she knit the blanket using knitting needles built from large PVC pipes. The result was a huge, warm blanket with stitches so big that it almost creates the illusion that people and furniture under the blanket are miniature.

There was lots of muttered cursing and wondering why I had committed to this project, but once you get in this deep, ya just have to finish!
