[Knitting] Zauberball!

[kniteracy]

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!

Zauberball! 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....

Bettie's Lace Stockings

Firestarter

Magic Mirror

Summer Sliding

Which one do you think I should make? :)

I have a ball of Zauber in chocolate. I am desperate for one in fuschia, or burnt almonds, or tropical fish. I saw a fantastic scarf in it via Simply Socks Yarn co. blog, and now I have it in my head it would make a lovely clapotis...

It probably would! I could pick one up for you at IKL on Saturday, but couldn't promise to post it promptly; I'm terrible at sending things off.

I've run out of yarn money for the month, sadly! Thanks for the offer though. They have some over at modernknitting.co.uk, so I'll get some when we get paid :-) It's not as though I don't have enough stash to knit through already!

Yeah, you tell yourself that, but then you just keep finding new places to put it, don'tcha? ;) Yarn fiend!

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 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*
