More Scarf Swap Stuff

July 27, 2005

Well it's been a very quiet day here at work, so at lunch I was able to do some research on the magic ball idea over at craftster and also read some harry potter, which I picked up yesterday.

Whereas the tube was previously the front runner, I'm now thinking that a diagonal knit magic ball garter stitch scarf is probably the best approach for my lovely recipient.

And, will be reasonably simple - the art will be in forming the magic ball! I will pick out a bunch of yarns that I have small quantities of (or not) and cut bits off randomly and then tie them together. A bit here, a bit there.. Whether to knit with two strands held together etc and what needle size is yet to be determined!

I am looking forward to this afternoon, we are having drinks for a coworker who is leaving. I am organizing and have made mini chocolate muffins, chicken yum yum sandwhiches, vodka jelly shots, and we've got heaps of yummies like camembert, cheddar, kabana, twiggy sticks, crackers, red wine, and german beer. And M is coming! yay..
