Don’t worry if you can’t get Rowan Big Wool - check out some of the wonderful projects in Malabrigo Rasta and Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick and a bunch of others - all equally stunning results.

This is a lovely easy quick project to knit up - it only took me an evening and the bramble stitch is really fun when you get into the swing of it!

I did get a few funny looks about my giant sized needles, though! Despite what the text above says I used 12mm needles, but I don’t think the 0.75mm will make a difference. \

Update for December 2010: Berry Brambles, the little sister of Blue Brambles, is now out!
