Necessity V Luxury

When I first started knitting I saw the yarn store lovingly put my skein of yarn on this large thing they called a swift and wind it into a ball for me. It looked pretty neat, but definitely an expensive tool just needed by the yarn store. No way would I ever NEED one of those.

Well today put me over the dark end and I just ordered myself on of those little luxuries. What put me over the dark end...now you should be sitting down for this. You should have a nice drink in your hand...you ready? This is cashmere remember:

The other half of the skein was here nice and safe:


And 2 Hours Later...

Obviously someone thought this was really hilarious!


At the end of it all we do have puppy love:

That is a tragedy and good reason to order a swift and ball winder! Plus you have a bag of Malabrigo to wind, so you will need one anyway!

Ack! I think I just had a heart attack at the sight of all that cashmere in such a snarl!

But, I must say, it's *almost* worth it for that adorable pic of R!
