I'm not sure this is *really* knitting...
20mm needles are the *wierdest* things to try and handle after knitting with 2.5mm DPNs for a week. The largest needles I have ever used before have been the 8mm ones used for Mask, and I found those uncomfortably large to handle.
Knitting with 20mm needles requires completely different movements to 'normal' knitting, at least for me. You can't just use your hands, you have to move your whole arms. There's certainly no such thing as a small movement!
But at least it grows quickly. This is one evening's work; mobile phone included for scale:

Biggy Print? I used 15 mms with Big Wool and found it really loose and floppy, but that looks good! Cooool.
I love that yarn! please post photos of the finished sweater because it looks so pretty!
I know what you mean about using your whole arms when you knit with the ginormous needles--i just finished a sweater with 17s. it was fast but somewhat aerobic!
Oh my gosh, those needles are huge! Must be a good workout for the arms at least!
