I did try to work on them yesterday. But I was knitting along, and noticed there wasn't two purl stitches where there should have been. Only one. Huh? I noticed the knit stitch right next to the purl was really loose, too. Grrrr... Looked inside to see if maybe I could just fix it without having to go back a few rows... I could not figure it out. So I ripped two inches of ribbing out and am back to only one sock. Sigh... I was too irritated to even mess with it yesterday. So I worked on some hotpads from my magic ball I have been saving up. (Above picture)
This is what the inside looks like. All the ends are inside. And here is the front of the first one I did:
The back:
Then I made a second one, which I think turned out even cooler! I like the way the colors came out in this one. Pretty cool how just tying yarn together can come out the way it did....The back and front of the second one (the front is more blue):
Okay, I don't know what I was trying to do with these pictures ... I used the Mielke's Farm 'Double-Thick Diagonally Crocheted Potholder' pattern. It is on crochet pattern central, under potholders/hotpads; but the link hasn't worked for me for quite some time. Don't know if it is the site or what.. It's my favorite hotpad (potholder) to crochet. I keep forgetting how many to chain in the beginning. For these I chained 36. I think I would chain 46 next time. These are pretty good size but I like 'em a little bit bigger....

Your magic yarn ball and the potholder design really worked like magic...I love the result!
That is soooo cool!!! After the first picture I was wondering what you were gonna do with all those ends. LOL! I'm gonna have to try that myself. Great job!!
Hugs, Cherri
Thanks Mimi & Cherri. I guess that is why they call it a magic ball, huh, Mimi? My kids keep asking me, "Why is it 'magic'?" Yup, Cherri; the ends are all tucked inside. :P I want to try a purse someday, if I get a ball big enough. :-)
