Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Big Balls
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Handpainted big balls
And he's got big balls,
And she's got big balls,
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!
I figured I'd borrow a little from AC\DC for the introduction of the biggest balls of them all. Girl Beast wasn't too sure about wearing the yarn on her head. She had to sit still for several seconds. It's an immense ball that is the same size as her head.
This is the yarn that I've fallen head over heals in love with. Adrian mentioned this stuff a couple of weeks ago. It's fantastic stuff. Soft, huge and inexpensive. Just how I like it. I really don't know how to describe this stuff without sounding like an ad or a love sick teenager.
There is Worsted weight and Bulky weight. I started a sweater in Bulky weight. This is what one ball got me: 2 sleeves and 6 inches of a 40 inch body. It should only take 3 balls to finish this thing. 3 balls! Weaving in ends will be easy! I'm hoping to have it done by SPA and have the free pattern to give away.
I'll be updating the site this afternoon with super big ball sweater yarn, sock yarns, fibers and the new kit.
