Yup, that was my Thursday night after being impatient and attempting to start a project without using my yarn winder. I love the look of a hank of yarn before it’s wound. The shape reminds me of the infinity symbol, representing endless possibilities of what can be created. I bought two hanks of Cascade Yarns Venezia (sport weight) – it’s a beautiful, soft merino wool and silk blend – my post-holiday splurge. It begs for knitting needles!
Now, had I just attached the winder to my kitchen counter, this would have been the initial result….
Now doesn’t that look more civilized!
My guy is a saintly man, promising to help me sort out my pile of yarn disaster before I use up my current ball. It reminds him of sorting out fishing line! Bless him!
Hopefully in a short time, this lovely yarn will be a beautiful, soft, knit shrug. I’ll be sure to post pictures once completed!
Happy knitting and hooking all! 🙂
I used to have one…but it broke. 😦

What a shame! So sorry to hear that, but do you miss it or find that you can make do without?

I miss it, especially when working with alpaca

I was looking at one of those and though do I really need one? I guess in this case I can see how I would! Can’t wait to see your knit shrug!

Thanks! I’m hoping it won’t take too long to finish. I think the winder is such a great investment. I used to wind by hand and it took forever, so definitely a plus for time and keeping the yarn under control. 🙂
