[Knitting] Zauberball!

I picked up this lovely wool on Wednesday at I Knit London, and now I'm thinking I may get a second ball of it if they still have it on Saturday.

Zauberball translates to 'magic ball', and I think that even in the ball it live up to its name. It's just alive with possibilities, isn't it? The wool comes in an astounding array of colours, not all of them this bright, I promise!

I'm sorry for the blurry photo, iPhone, iPhone, blah, blah, blah, but I really love this wool and the colours are fantastic. It will make up into very long stripes that fade into one another gradually, and right now I'm trying to decide what to make with it. Right now, I'm thinking of the Flit & Float Scarf from this spring's Knitty, or maybe....

It's so true. I picked up a popup laundry basket in Tesco's last week, and it's already full. *shame*
It was to be The Year of Knitting From Stash, but it just didn't happen... ;-)
They just keep making such nommable yarn!

ETA: I love Jeannie's socks; I'd do magic mirror in this. And in fact, I might! ;-)

As [livejournal.com profile] aunty_marion points out below, someone on Ravelry has done the magic mirror socks in Zauberball; that's where I discovered the pattern. Then I went to her webpage and it was all over. :)

I did some orange socks (guess who for, hah) in a mystery KAL she had. They were an excellent knit. *goes off to poke at her webpage*
