Yarn swift

What is a yarn swift you ask? Why, it is a wonderful invention that holds your skein of yarn while it is being wound into a ball. And this afternoon, my dear hubby, Kevin, made me one following the instructions I came across on Ravelry at this website: Crafty Diversions Thanks Anne for great instructions. And thanks Kevin for a great swift - all from stuff we already had - nothing bought!! Woo Hoo! That is better than 70.00 ANY day of the week and twice on Sunday!!
Here are pictures of the finished product. One still, and one in motion. It spins like a dream! Isn't he wonderful?



In other knitting news, I am finishing up a pair of green striped socks, and started a shawl. No pictures of those right now, but I will get some up soon!
