I was a very good girl this year based on what Santa and others left under the tree for me! And it was a very knitty Christmas! I received blocking wires, a new ball winder, stitch markers, knitting t-shirts, yarn and stitch markers. It was so much more than I expected and I feel very blessed.
I wanted to share a few of my favorites from the bunch. My new winder is amazing! It’s a Starwood Needlecraft hand operated ball winder for those with inquiring minds. I have only done one skein but it was smooth and made a very tight neat cake. I can’t wait to play with it more!
I also received some Bis-Sock yarn from Biscotte Yarns. It’s a lovely mix of pinks and black that will make a lovely variegated project! This is the skein I test wound.
Next up is some Heathers Favorite Sock from T&H Fiber Works in a lovely mauve/pink color. My mother picked out this color so it might grow up to be something for her….
Lastly is a a pair of funny socks and a new wine opener. My current one falls apart every third use and I guess my parents got tired of putting it back together for me! So I have a new one to test out after PB is here and wine is okay again, lol.
Did any of you receive any cool knitty things?
Your presents all look delightful! It’s so funny: I also got Biscotte yarn and a new wine opener! Sadly, I did not get wonderful wine/dog socks like you did. Those are fantastic!
Oh a wonder sounds so wonderful. It must work much better than a chair back!!
Are you still liking your winder?
I am. I have wound only another two cakes since Xmas. They are tighter than before but I feel like I struggle less with the actual winding.
That would be good. I’m thinking of getting one as I always end up being in a knit:(
