For those of you who thought this was about some other types of balls, I am afraid you will be disappointed...
We are talking about balls of yarn!
I wanted to knit some new covers for a couple of sofa cushions and came across these balls of yarn meant for big hunky Aran sweaters. Since I am making up the pattern etc as I go along I was not sure how much I needed. Also, it needs to be said that it has been a while since I knitted anything... So, when I came across these ENORMOUS balls I thought this would save me running out of yarn.
Yep, I was right.
I think I have enough yarn to knit an entire sofa...
Well, maybe not a sofa, but each ball is 500 grams
(I think 'normal' balls of yarn are 50 gram)...
I promise to show the finished product... when I get there.
But please, don't hold your breath waiting.
It could take a while.

Da har du i alle fall nok garn for lang tid fremover. Det kan bli det ene prosjektet etter det andre og kreativiteten kan blomstre....

He, he, ja, det var sannelig litt av noen baller:-)
ReplyDeleteBurde rekke en stund det der...
Kult! Jeg har også lyst på strikkede puter, men nå har jeg fått tak i så mye restestoff at det nok blir sying på meg. Dessuten har jeg lyst til å sy om gamle gensere til slikt. Men blir vel ikke noe av noen av delene. Spent på egenkomponert mønster! Det står det respekt av!
ReplyDeleteGod mandag :O)
ReplyDeleteSkal ikke holde pusten..*ler*..
Ja nå har du nok garn! Spennende å se resultatet - gleder meg! Her strikkes det dukkeklær, trenger ikke så svære nøster da nei!
