Winding for fun and productivity!

Finally got a ball winder!

I was hoping to get one as a Christmas gift, but considering all the knitting projects I needed to get underway it really made more sense to get it beforehand. My husband told me to 'JUST ORDER IT ALREADY!' so I got the Lacis ball winder and am really happy with it.

I didn't get a swift, however.

I figured that could come as a gift later, and as they are more expensive I really wanted to take time to find the *right* one. In the meantime, I cajoled my son and husband to help me with some winding, and it was really quite fun!

Heck, he didn't even need yarn to have fun!

We improvised the role of the swift with strong arms and quick rotating. It was a neat challenge to get it right, and even my husband got a kick out of seeing the balls get shaped.

Seven wound in the amount of time it takes me to do one by hand!
