NO, I did not knit these, they were a gift to me from a knitter. *
You see, I know someone who had the pattern, she bought the yarn, she could NOT find the needles anywhere! And no, I have no idea about her pattern source. So, I told her I would look for the needles for her when I was in the states. Very hard to find - I think it was super sized dpn's, but I can't remember exactly anymore. Anyway, the local yarn shop ordered them for me after making sure, sure that I really did want such large needles because who knits socks on such large needles? And maybe I was confused because Canada actually has a different knitting needle size than the rest of the world. Who knew? But anyway - the jumbo needles were ordered and when they came in I mailed them off so the happy knitter could knit her socks/slippers. And as a thank you, she not only paid me back for the needles and postage BUT she also made me my very own pair!!!

Goodness those look so nice and warm! Could have done with a pair under my boots while I was on an outdoor field trip in downtown Toronto yesterday ..... temperature was a chilly -10ºC!!!!
Oh, those look wonderfully warm, and yes, I am jealous. =) It isn't as cold here, but it is cold at night. I'm wearing Paul's hunting socks, which he foolishly loaned me - maybe last winter. He's never getting them back!
those look AWESOME!!!
