The Epic Adventure as reached its climactic conclusion. The Max Suit is finally complete, and not a moment too soon. Because of recent events, I was thrown into a funk and didn’t knit for over a month. Not a stitch. And seeing as to how this suit needed to be completed for Halloween, this lack of knitting was a massive problem.
It came down to a situation in which I told my friend that there is a chance his suit wouldn’t be finished on time. And you know what he said?
“I’ll wear it one-armed, that’s cool.”
I’ll wear it one-armed, that’s cool.
This statement alone gave me the drive and determination to knit an entire arm in a single day, complete with the distractions of grocery shopping, working and moving some.

The result? A finished Max Suit. A hood, two legs, two soles, two arms. An adult-sized pair of footie-pajamas, basically.

We made a tail out of garland and found some bunny ears to put on top (Kind of lame, but totally cost- and time-efficient)
I bought 15 skeins of Berroco Vintage (Ravelry link) and ended up using a smidge less than 13, so I’ve got two full balls that I can use for other projects. I’m going to call this yarn estimation a success, given the size of the project. There are more Ravelry details here.
This is the biggest project I have completed to date, and I am so glad I did. It was the experience of a lifetime and I am proud of it. What are you’re epic projects? How did you feel during the process and after?
THERE. ARE. NO. WORDS.
it is amazing. well done!
That is a massive project! There is no way that my attention span could handle that. I’m very impressed.
WOW, that is incredible. What an amazing feat. You should be so proud of yourself!
I don’t know who is Max and why he needs this kind of a suit… but this is still the most coolest knit project I have ever seen!
holy crap you knitted the Max suit!?!?! Courtney sewed hers..she needs to see this! That is intense! Great job!
