My yarn swift came today from Joann.com (50% off coupon) woohoo! It took less than 10 minutes to wind a ball - this task used to take at least an hour (sad.) I will post some pictures of it in action after kids are in bed.
Also still working on mitt #1 of the wine & roses mitts - by the time I make #2, I will be an expert. Ha!
