Question: Wingspan

Anyone here who has made a Wingspan: Does it absolutely have to be done on a circular needle? (Especially if I'm using worsted weight.) Could I pull it off on a 14" straight needle? I really, really hate circs. :/

It could be done, as long as the needle is long enough to accommodate the sts. It isn't knit in the round, just back and forth, but there are a lot of stitches that will be on the needles.

okay. I think I'm gonna give it a try. I got 4 skeins of MadelineTosh in today that are absolutely gorgeous and I think that's what I want to do with them. :)

thanks!

Good luck! I've made about three Wingspans, and I really enjoy the way they turn out.

I did mine on straights, just to be perverse, and it came out fine.
