Knit Pick's needles and bulky yarn

I'm happy to say that after hearing mixed reviews, I got to try Knit Picks circular needles!

I was a little scared because I've hear from different sources about the cable coming of the actual needle, but I've used them quite a bit, and so far I haven't seen any signs of breakage :)

I ordered two different sizes; A 4.00 mm and a 5.00 mm. I'm currently using the 5.00 mm needle to knit a hat in bulky yarn (well, technically, it's super bulky weight yarn, but it stretches out, so its comparable to bulky weight yarn):

I'm only at the brim. I was looking for an instant gratification project, and it works up pretty fast, but not as fast as I was expecting.

But, I was able to complete a stuffed owl pretty quickly with this super bulky yarn:

Wool-ease Thick & Quick is an acrylic/wool mixed yarn and is super soft! The owl I made with be shared on FO Friday and added for sale on the website soon. I purchase approximately 4.5 skeins from a Ravelry user for about $12 (which is a great deal considering this yarn costs about $8 retail).




So, what have you been making with your Knit Picks needles and bulky yarn? Feel free to tell me about your projects below :)
