The article explores playful craft making using food as a medium for human-material interaction. Through using the theoretical and analytical framework of Johan Huizinga (1949, Homo Ludens. A study of the play element in culture (First published in German in Switzerland in 1944). London, Boston & Henley: Routledge & Kegan Paul), we consider how food operates as a new material for the craft makers to work with, resulting in fluctuating intensity of play when knitting the pasta yarns. The methodology of the article leans on an autoethnographic approach complemented by cooperative analysis of the memories and experiences connected with the experiment. Results emphasized how the noodle knitting project created a world of its own as a result of imagination, and demanded its own order as the playful process unfolded. As a conclusion, we propose that unexpected materials bring forward new forms of creativity, promoting a broader understanding of artistry and skilled making
