Yesterday W and I went on an adventure to Rochester. We travelled up Route 14 through the gorgeous Finger Lakes Area, and then, on the way back, WE STOPPED AT A YARN STORE.
Notice the box? It's a ball winder!
I also bought yarn for future projects, but the ball winder was especially useful today because the Skew sock is not cooperating - at least, the skein wasn't.
So I set up the winder in the only surface on the ranch that I could - the front porch. It was quite romantic, winding yarn on the porch at sunset. And at the end, I got my perfect ball!
Hopefully the yarn will cooperate from now on!
NEAT!
ReplyDeleteI like the yarn you got too :)
I lived one summer in the Finger Lakes area of New York a few years ago. The Finger Lakes and the waterfalls in Ithaca were definitely highlights of an otherwise highly unpleasant summer. Sometimes I miss it, though....
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got your skein sorted out! And lots of pretty yarn, too! :)
Ball winders can be so useful. I'm sure your yarn will cooperate now.
ReplyDeleteI love the greens on the Pacific yarn. Will that be socks too?
do you believe in spanking the yarn? ? It is harsh I know, but it helps
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love my ball winder, its the best tool ever.
ReplyDeleteThat is the exact same ball-winder I got for Christmas last year. It really does come in handy.
