Magic Yarn Ball Round 3

[Miss Violaceous]

I can't believe it took me this damned long to finish! But the yarn was frustrating me a little and I had to set it down. Anyway! My Odessa!



I'm pleased with how the shiny bits make a cross-pattern.

Ball contents:

- Dragonfly card
- tissue holder
- extra purple yarn
- beads
- little fuzzy heart stickers
- tea tea tea
- bath petals
- headband with polka dot ribbon
- washcloth
- potholder
- tree of life pendant
- buttons
- wax potpourri
- votive candles
- cute little snowman pin
- music notes pin
- little notepad (there's another one of these that was pressed into use early on and didn't make it into the shot)
- funky felt flower
- purse handles
- what I can only assume is a stress ball
- coffee!

And a close-up of some of my favorites:


The potholder is simply amazing (and needed around this house), the buttons are really fantastically nifty, the pendant has such pretty little beads, and the coffee... emergency Tim's rations!

Thanks so much krafty_kelly, you were a great partner.

Lol,....its a stress puck!  I should have sent the packaging it came in, but I was trying to fit everything into the ball.

Your Odessa turned out fantastic.  You have inspired me to pick mine up again.  The yarn really is a pain, that why I dropped after the ribbing.

I see, very canadian!

The trick to using that yarn is to wrap it tightly around your fingers over and over again with the outer "sleeve" pushed all the way forward. This helps the outer sleeve to wind up evenly distributed instead of bunching at the joins.

This means nothing to the rest of you, but there you go.
