Pinups Do It!

Knitting Pinup



Scantily clad knitter, depicted by Chicago based artist Harry Ekman..... Isn't this how we all look when we knit? Maybe not, but who's to say that all Knitters and Crocheters are old spinsterly types? Besides, how else would you know if your sweater was going to fit..... unless you tried it on?

My New Toys: Yarn Swift and Yarn Ball Winder

My New Toys!

Royal Ball Winder

Plastic and Metal Swift

Im the lucky owner of a new yarn swift and ball winder! My husband gifted the items over Mother's Day, in the beginning of May, but I haven't gotten around to posting about them until now.... as I have been waaaay busy organizing my stash into little neat yarn cakes :)

It looks a bit more complicated than it is but once you get the hang of it, it's so much easier than my previous method....

D'oh!

P.S Here is a wee tutorial from Webs, which is where these were purchased :)
