Long ago I convinced 98% of my family to send me a check for the holidays. It does seem sort of impersonal but I can be a bit difficult to shop for since everything I tend to want is stuff you *really* want to pick out yourself. So anyway I had a bountiful plenty to go yarn shopping with. So I did:) I also had my mom buy me some yarn as my present from her. Since I did sort of put all the money in one big pot I can’t really say who got me what other than what my mom got me but….I have to do some yarn pron anyway. First and foremost I invested in a swift and ball winder. I knew I wanted a ball winder and the first shop didn’t have one but the second one did. After having something of a disaster winding some off a chair I decided to get a swift. I did not want a plastic swift. Besides the prices they wanted for the plastic ones were insane. But the Myers house weaving dept had a wooden one. Though a piece of the first one was cracked and I had to exchange but oh well:) I do lerv it beyond all belief and its fun. I love winding variegated and hand paints just to see the patterns. Anyway on to the haul
