I wanted to knitti spaghetti for p/hop’s birthday because I wanted to mix food and knitting. I blog about food, I like knitting and I like p/hop.

So, I boiled the spaghetti and covered it in olive oil (eating a few bits long the way). It cools very quickly so I didn’t have to worry about burning my hands.

I then tried to cast on, but this didn’t work because it kept slipping off the needles… So, I had to knotti the spaghetti with very slippery fingers in a knitting style.

I thought the final product was a storming success and I predict that everyone will be wearing these in summer 2010.
