How to use up yarn leftovers with a magic ball — whip up
I have a lotta lotta yarn leftovers that would love to be in a magic ball together.
Here’s our old-person’s guide:
The goal of twerking, as the Internet delights in explaining, is to move your hips and butt in the most sexually provocative way you can muster. If things go well, this results in a rippling of muscle of flub that somehow translates into “this is why I’m hot. (I work out).”
Luckily for us, there isn’t just one flavor of twerking. It can be smooth and steady, fast and rough, or just plain spicy. You can twerk in your bathroom, at Walgreens, even at church.
As with any dance, attitude is everything. Whether or not you’ve got enough junk in the trunk to make a real splash doesn’t necessarily matter, as long as you’ve got sass. Or, err, a big ass.
flub.
