it looks GREAT!

Wow that is really wonderful. Your magic ball concept has me so intrigued that I am making a magic ball from sock yarn. I am not tying knots however but doing the Russian join instead knots do not work well in socks.

That looks great. The magic yarn ball is such a good way of doing a fun granny well done!

I love the random color changes

[MaryPat]

I must have missed a prior discussion. What's a magic ball granny? SHould I be asking what a magic ball is?

 

Love the colors.

Nice! Do you tie knots to connect the yarn when you roll it into the ball?

[mamarose22]

Yes, I tie knots. I could probably make Russian knots (although I have never done them) but I think it would be very time consuming when you are working with so many small pieces of yarn. If you are using 3.5 oz or larger, hanks of yarn, I could see doing the Russian join, but not on a magic ball.

MaryPat... a magic ball is just short leftover pieces of yarn tied together and rolled into a ball and used to crochet into a large granny...

That is great! I love scraps and am getting really bad about throwing anything away. Your afghan turned out great. Are you donating it to a charity?

Very nice! I love the randomness of the colors and the colors themselves!

The completed magic ball granny has already been turned in to a crafts group I belong to. It will be donated to Linus along with some other afghan & quilts that some of our other members have donated. This is an ongoing community service project we have going.

I will not be signed on for several weeks as I will be having surgery this week and then a couple of weeks at rehab. I'll play catchup when I can.

I'm wondering how this concept would work with other afghans, like those round ripples everyone seems to always be doing, or even a basic rectangular ripple, or granny ripple (my new favorite pattern)?
