  • Whoops...knitting fail.

    So I've picked up knitting again, after suggestion from a friend. She's learning how to knit from me and I'm learning how to crochet from her.

    Anyway, I've restarted a project from a book using a certain type of wool.

    As it turns out, I didn't get enough balls of wool to do the whole project (a scarf) so it appears that my first project will be a scarf done in four different colours of wool....my "ball" scarf.

    My mum made me a scarf some years ago from a bunch of wool ball 'scraps' - she didn't have to buy any new to make it, and it's about seven feet long. Some of these balls she found in a sealed box in the loft as they were preparing to move; the last thing she'd made from these balls were my baby clothes!!

        i have a ball of scraps that i tied together. i tried to make a dog sweater out of it but made it too short so i put it all back on the ball. eventually i'll make like a crazy scarf out of it i guess.

          I have a book on stash busting that suggests sewing the ends of remainder balls together using the Russian method, this way you can make your own "magic" ball.
