It's Magic!

A while back I posted about the Magic Cake technique of using up your odds and ends of yarn.  The LYS where I work had a few people ask about it so we offered up a few one day workshops.  I had my first workshop yesterday with one of my Wednesday afternoon students who is new to knitting.  She didn't have a lot of her own yarn but as you might recall I have a HUGE bag of yarn.

My sole student (this was a test drive for the future workshops) wanted a shawlette to go with a brown sweater she owns.  So I dug into the bag and came up with these colors.

And after working the Double Knot technique and with the ball winder look what we did!  Isn't it beautiful!??
