Yay for Yarn Swifts!

Wow what a busy Labour Day weekend! Jimmy's cousin's were up visiting from NYC - they were here for Jimmy's cousin's wedding - and the all stayed at our place! It was a fun but exhausting weekend!

Since the were coming up from the states I thought I would take advantage of that and ordered a bunch of stuff from KnitPicks. I have been eyeing the yarn swift from KnitPicks for a while now. Twice or three times a year KnitPicks will have a sale on their swifts for $50USD - it's one of the cheapest prices I've seen for a yarn swift. Luckily for me, there was a sale at the beginning of August - perfect timing!!!

I got to try it out today and it sure beat having Jimmy hold a yarn skein while I wound it into a ball :S Not that Jimmy was bad at it or anything! haha!


Here's my yarn swift - in all it's glory. It's holding a skein of lace yarn I bought from KnitPicks.


My set up with my ball winder. I got the ball winder from KnitPicks earlier this year.


Woohoo it's spinning!


My ball of yarn - gotta love the ball winder!!


New additions to my stash :D
