Sweater Ball Complete

My baby steps keep moving me forward -- last night I sewed the last strip onto the ginormous sweater ball.  Next step is to get out my giant crochet hook and see what this sweater yarn will make.  I'm thinking I will try for at least one but maybe two floor mats for the dogs to hang out on.  We'll see if Sophie and Shenanigan will buy it. They don't look too enthused.

P.S. The entertainment "center" you can see behind the sewing machine is another project on my list.  I have something waiting in the garage for its turn.  I do love the speakers though.  My dad made them in the 70s!
