[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....

The wool is fabulous!

Your classes gave me the confuidence to try being a bit adventurous (for me) with my knitting.

I finished my (bottom-up doll sweater and didn't like the ribbing around the waist, so reasoned that if I threaded the needle through a row all the way around just above the ribbing and unravelled it up to the needle, I could knit down to a new waist form there. OK, so It wouldn't unravel and I had to take the scissors to it, but it worked!!!

Good for you! Unravelling from the cast-on edge is nearly impossible. In my knit fix class, that's how I teach people to change stuff from the cast-on edge. It's what I did with that entrelac hat, and most knitters are terrified of it. Congratulations on being adventurous, and remember if you want to have that technique conversation, I'm available anytime I'm available. ;)
