Musical chairs is a game played by
a group of people (usually children), often in an informal setting purely for entertainment such as a birthday party. The
game starts with any number of players and a number of chairs one fewer than the number of players; the chairs are arranged
in a circle (or other closed figure if space is constrained; a double line is sometimes used) facing outward, with the people
standing in a circle just outside of that. A non-playing individual plays recorded music or a musical instrument. While the
music is playing, the players in the circle walk in unison around the chairs. When the music controller suddenly shuts off
the music, everyone must race to sit down in one of the chairs. The player who is left without a chair is eliminated from
the game, and one chair is also removed to ensure that there will always be one fewer chair than there are players. The music
resumes and the cycle repeats until there is only one player left in the game, who is the winner.
A very portable and enjoyable afghan to make. Made
in strips and woven together. The houndstooth section is worked by slipping stitches and therefore much easier than intarsia.
On the photo Color A is pink (5 balls) and Color B is black (4 balls).
Many of our clients have made this afghan in different
color combinations.
Especially attractive combinations were;
Chicory (804) and Donkey (517)
Pixie (807) and Cream (500)
Cloud (805) and Truffle (527)
There are so many attractive combinations.
