Wooooo Hooooo! I have a new ball winder! Every good knitter has a yarn ball winder in their repitoire of knitting goodies. I have been wanting one of these baby's for years, and I am serious about that. My mother had one and oh I was always so envious. Well, this is my much belated Mother's Day gift from hubby. I have been turning every skein of yarn I have into neatly wrapped balls of yarn. I am blissfully happy.
I am oh-so-close, to being done with hubby's socks. I am hoping to have them done , like within the next day or 2. He is around the corner at camp and I would love to be able to take the finished socks to him, if I just had some red yarn. See, regulation scout socks have a thin band of red around the top. It would be way cool if I had some, but, oh well.
Along with my new ball winder, I also got a new skein of sock yarn. It is self striping sock yarn in a not so traditional red, white & blue. I actually almost purchased this yarn months ago, but had gone with another color. Those socks ended up being given to my youngest daughter. SO, when hubby brought this yarn home...I was soooooooooo excited! I can't wait to get started.
It's sunday and I am going to cat nap on the couch for a while (It's what I do almost every sunday) LOL so I will try and write tomorrow.
Bye for now!
