My grandfather likes to dabble with wood working. Dabble does not describe the results he gets though. He has made my mom a gorgeous mirrored shadow box for her wall with a matching console table for it. They look very professional and not at all like you would expect to hear him talk - he claims that they are not the best, can you imagine that?
Well, so while looking for a yarn swift I found a link to directions on how to make your own yarn swift. Well knowing I didn’t have the skill it would take to make the really simple version in the directions I emailed them to my grandpa and asked him if he could make me one. Well, he called to get more detail about how they are used and different things like that and asked if I minded if he changed the design to work better for me. I said I did not mind a few weeks later I got a copy of the design drawing in my email. Now I have been advised that it has been mailed and I was sent some photos that my grandma took.
The design is made so that it can be broken down and stored in a smaller space and it is vertical instead of horizontal so that I can leave it put together when it is in use and I don’t have time to finish making a skein into a ball since I have to do that by hand right now. I am pretty sure that I am going to be getting a ball winder soon now that I will have this. I will upload better photos once it gets here. Also, I will post later or tomorrow with an update about my knitting. So, with no further ramblings here are the photos.
