Today started out by taking Ginger (my English Cream Golden) to the vet for her 6 month checkup. She didn't like it at all. When they took her into the building she was a bundle of nerves. Poor girl.
When I got back I had 4 skeins of seed fingering yarn I needed to wind. I got out my yarn swift and ball winder and got to work. I find winding yarn very therapeutical! You almost get mesmerized by watching the yarn swift go round and round. Here are a few photos of the process.

Well I'm off to knit another Harry Potter hat for my grandson. My daughter, Jenny home schools them and one of the curriculum she is teaching to the 2 grandsons is Harry Potter based. I'm making 3 hats (one for each grandson and 1 for Jenny). They also would like scarves to make. I'll post them when I get them all done.
Everyone have a wonderful day!!

Gorgeous yarn, Sherri! I also look forward to seeing the finished HP hats.
ReplyDeleteLove the prism photo.
Thanks Mary! I have always been fascinated by how the light refracts through glass. My Mom had a huge crystal chandelier in our second home growing up. I would watch it for hours!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never seen anything like that for winding your yarn. It sure makes your life easier. Your grandsons and Jenny are so lucky you are an expert knitter.
ReplyDeleteI like watching your videos on Instagram. I can watch you work with yard over and over-- ok, that sounded creepy, but I meant the yarn. LOL. It's so relaxing watching it.
