Swiftly

-

 I have a new toy!  My big present this Christmas was a swift and ball winder.  Useful and fun!



I'm having trouble believing how quickly I can wind up a hank of yarn into a neat, tidy centre-pull ball now!  "Swift" is a good name for it ;-)

Yarn and wine.  A good combination!

These will be endlessly useful.  They may not appear on the blog very often, but you can be sure that they'll be whirring away behind the scenes.

    I had one of those - I think Beth has it now. It was wonderful!

      Thanks, Daddy! It was sort of an accident, but I'm glad you like it :)

    I have always been terrified of attempting knit socks...someday :)

      They're really not that hard! If you can use dpns (easy) and read a pattern, you could make socks :) (The first time I tried I was 9 years old and I didn't understand the concept of knitting in the round. The result was rather comical. But I figured it out, and I was still 9, so it can't be that hard, right?)
