It uses an accelerometer to ‘cast spells’ based on the direction you shake the staff…”
I love the idea of using a styrofoam wreath base for building up a cool crochet wreath. It seems like the possibilities are endless for creating cool designs and variations. See how Lisa of Good Knits created this beautiful crochet wreath over on her blog. [via Amy Gleason on Pinterest]
