Let me tell you: I didn't choose this project, this project chose me.
You see this, and you just need to have it in your life. That's just the way the world works. So, I accepted my fate and gathered the materials per the instructions.
I didn't have really thick cardboard lying around, so I had to sacrifice the top of a shoe box that house a cute pair of red boots.
I like to think that Kenneth would be honored to know that his box was used for such a noble cause. I drew the circle with a compass since I just happened to have one lying around, because: nerd. I must suggest, though, that you use a piece of cardboard that is thicker than this. When I wrapped the yarn around the circle, the cardboard would buckle the more yarn I wrapped around it.
I originally chose the plain, light gray fabric on the left in the picture below for the background, but I didn't like it because I wanted something more interesting.
So, I walked around Hobby Lobby's fabric section until I found something that I liked.
The yarn ball is a little off-centered because I didn't want to cover up the Eiffel Tower. I hung this behind my sewing/craft table, and I couldn't be happier with it.
I didn't want the hanging string because I have a dog now. A big one. I'll tell you about him later. But he likes yarn and dangly things, and I believe that if he saw a piece of dangling string that he would make it his life's mission to grab it.
I'm back. I'm just going to continue blogging like this two year hiatus never happened.
