This is so awesome! One of the great things about these type of exchanges is sometimes you get something that you never would have gotten around to buying for yourself because it's one of those "fun but not necessary" items. The kind of stuff that you secretly wish people would buy you, but they never do because contrary to popular belief people can't read minds. People, that is, except my santa.

Every time I see someone post on /r/knitting with a giant cozy blanket they knitted on their oversized knitting needles, I think "I should buy some of those" but then I dismiss it as a "maybe another time" type thing and I move on.

Now, though, I have these amazing knitting needles. This is so beyond cool! I can't wait to find some super cozy stuff to make with them!
