Then Tuesday started the I-75 Yarn Crawl. I did complete 50 Magic Balls for Survivor Shawls equaling about 25,000 yards of fiber. There was a time I thought the most I could finish was 30 then 40 then finally I realized I was really going to reach my commitment of 50. It feels so good. I started the middle of May, worked most every day except when I was with Barb and Linda at the Coastal Condo. Some weeks I worked 20-40 hours making Magic Balls. It really did become an obsession.
I think my life is getting back to normal. (What ever normal is.) This has been an amazing 10 days. On Friday, August 3, Jocelynn Brown published her article in the Homestyle section of the Detroit News and Free Press about my new obsession of repurposing yarn. It was so fun. The link to the article is www.detroitnews.com/staff/27489/jocelynn-brown/. It is fascinating to work with a journalist on an article. We emailed. Talked several times. Jocelynn is such a nice person. My cell was loaded with emails and texts from friends extending hearty congratulations. WOW! What an absolute high! Then Tuesday started the I-75 Yarn Crawl.

The Adrian Daily Telegram wrote an article which was pretty amazing, too. I got many more texts and emails. 7th Heaven or what!?!?!?! Yarn Crawlers loved the shawl and the story. I worked at Ann's By Design Tuesday through today (Sunday) and am pretty tired. It was such fun to introduce people to my favorite project ever. I may be down to 6 tubs of pink yarn from a high of 13. The end of pink yarn MAY be in sight. Pink yarn has been a stable in the Stash Studio since 2010. Friday night and last night I luxuriated in selfish knitting. It felt so amazing. Something I relearned is how much I brainstorm with myself when I am knitting. I planned many, many next treasures. I brainstormed new things I could do at Ann's By Design. It was so relaxing. I have been so sporadic in writing since my obsession with making 50 Magic Balls. I have many stories to catch you up on. So stay tuned. I'M BACK!!!!
