You must be so proud that your original design is beginning to achieve almost "cult" status and to see these scarves in various stages starting to hatch all over the world.

I use it for every end I have now :)aijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719758263070679884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771259406985368458.post-91153359695686740172007-10-02T07:57:00.000-04:002007-10-02T07:57:00.000-04:00Hi Dana,I love that people have found new knit bud...Hi Dana,<BR/>I love that people have found new knit buddies to share the cost of the KSH! Tips? Splitting the ball by weight should do the trick. In the perfect world, I would suggest using a yarn baller. If you made your purchase at your LYS they may have one that you could use. Otherwise, creating a hand made ball will do. Good thing about mohair… it sticks to itself so it won‘t slip around after being wound! Just be sure you make the balls firm enough to keep a “ball” shape but loose enough that the yarn is not stretched. You want something that feels closer to a Smurf Ball-- if you remember those-- than a golf ball. If you really want to gain points--- wind a center pull skein!! Visit http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1450470 on how to do that. I’m not very accomplished with this technique-- a yarn baller has spoiled me-- but I have seen it done successfully.<BR/>Happy splitting and knitting!!!Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791965999182335560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771259406985368458.post-18779364678732067202007-10-01T16:29:00.000-04:002007-10-01T16:29:00.000-04:00hi mags. thanks a million for sharing the ends hid...hi mags. thanks a million for sharing the ends hiding link. i am one of the cross country splitters. do you think its adequate to split the yarn by weight into a handmade ball? any tips for that? i have never worked with mohair and i don't want to let down my knitting buddy by sending her a mess.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224799601792876637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771259406985368458.post-41242724147192852372007-09-30T21:16:00.000-04:002007-09-30T21:16:00.000-04:00Mags, I just found your blog.
