Perhaps that should read making mari from socks and jocks because I haven't stitched a design on this experiment yet. I think it was Debi A who mentioned using her family's odd and old socks for her temari bases and when I was updating the boy's underwear last week I decided that I'd try it too. I have only made one 31cm ball so far (little feet = many socks per ball). I'm not sure how it will be to stitch into as it seems rather dense and heavy compared to my usual favorite (rice hull). I have also partly balled up some clean knickers... sorry jocks... my 8yo son tells me they are jocks not knickers. But these are harder to get balled up with the elastic waist band so I may pull them apart and shred them before slipping back into a sock.
Of course there will be no temari today due to a nasty bee sting in the center of my right palm. I can't close my fingers with enough strength to hold the needle.... and can only just manage to type. So I am off to the kitchen today to make soap... a craft I can do with my left hand.
