Wide Eyed Scouby Craze!

I was introduced to the 'delights' of scouby braiding yesterday by 'K', the daughter of a close friend (you know who you are!). I did manage to get the hang of it, but decided it was useless so I would pass on it (I'm trying out diet aids!:muted: ). Until 9pm last night that is....... at this point the bag of scouby threads started taunting me, so I thought "well it'll keep my hands busy." I finally dragged myself away from it at 1am:yawn:, and now don't know what to do with a 13inch (and growing) plastic braid!:blush: Anyone else had this problem? Aside from keyrings, any ideas for other uses?:idea: I have a feeling I may keep scoubying! :laughing: In my defence, it is very addictive!

More elaborate ones Air??? More info please! Did you actually make yours into anything? I'm still working on the long one - it's currently 15 inches! I think it may turn into a dog lead!!! I have to say I'm glad I'm not the only 'adult' to have ben sucked in.....

I have also recently discovered that you can do really nice 'scooby' braids with thick wool!
