Recently Todd managed to convince me that out of my per diem for being in Chicago all the time I could splurge on a yarn swift and ball winder. So I went out and bought the swift and winder that I'd been drooling over. Before I knew it there were packages at the house and new toys to play with, I mean important knitting tools. This means that I can get my projects that have yarn that does not come in balls started without having to spend hours balling the yarn by hand. I kind of like balling yarn but it can get tedious.
Once we got the swift and the baller set up and I got out my stash of yarns that require balling and we got busy. Todd discovered that using the ball winder and the swift was a close second to his favorite knitting related activity: ripping out knitting mistakes. We even drafted some of our friends into helping.
