Scoubidou

When I was younger I went through a phase of doing scoubidou and bought lots of the threads and a book on how to make various things with it. It only lasted for about 2-3 months and ever since then I have had it sitting in one of my drawers doing nothing. Two days ago, out of the blue, Robert remembered about it and asked me to get it out to teach him. So I took him and Dan yesterday afternoon and attempted to show them how it works. I hadn't done it for several years, so had forgotten how. I got as far as wrapping two different coloured strands on a pencil. Anyway, after I played around with it trying all the different ways to get to the next step the boys had lost interest. They went outside to play and I struggled along without them for a long time. Then finally, I got it!

This morning I showed them the steps, but they weren't able to do it for ages. We had three going at once ~ one for each of us. As I worked on mine they practiced the pattern. Suddenly Rob yelled out "I DID IT!!" and Dan followed suit shortly after. I was very proud :) They have been at it all day; Dan, however, was obliged to pull out for now. He pulls the strands too hard and therefore snaps them, cutting the project too short.

Well, after that large explanation, I think it's time to show you the photos!
