Default Knitting with the largest Knitting needles - record attempt

National Knitting Week 2006 (yes, 2006 - I'm a bit behind the times)
Knitting needles 6.5cm (2.6 inches) in diameter and 3.5 meters long
(11.4 feet). The yarn was a rope 12mm (0.47 inches) in diameter.
And how about crochet with boat hooks or speed knitting (250 stitches in
three minutes)?

I remember doing something called broomstick lace where you wrapped the yarn
around a broom handle, but can't imagine why anyone would want to knit that
way

(Brief lurker surfacing)
Broomstick lace is nice in several different uses. Chapel length bridal veils/
lightweight sweaters out of decorative yarns/ neck scarves/ vests/ hose
