My Nostepinne

March 30, 2012

Undoubtedly one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. It helps me turn this:

Into this:

Yarn Cakes!

It’s time consuming but I can’t bring myself to spend money on a swift and winder when I can do without.

I’d drop some bills for this guy though.

Kind of a random post but I saw Andi’s yesterday and had to wind some cakes this morning.

Weirdest Lap Dog Ever

I also needed a reason to post this ridiculous photo of Lily sleeping. My little weirdo.

Happy Friday!

    Oh my gosh, I used to think that way and then I got a swift as a present. (I had a ball winder from a sale on Joanne’s crafts website. The 40% off coupon does it every tiiiime.) Anyhow, it’s so fast! And you can spend that previously consuming hand-winding time knitting! Also, Zachariah was probably getting sick of me constantly asking for help so it’s been awesome for the both of us. 🙂

    I’ve been looking into getting a ball winder, but now after this post and that handsome stud ryan, I may not even bother getting one ha.

    yay, i’m glad the nostepinne is still finding use! but yeeeaahhh, a swift is a little lifechanging. i do love that ryan gosling pic! it was my boyfriend who got me a ball winder and swift precisely so he didn’t have to keep doing that.
