almost wordless wednesday

no eggs this time.... bacon and tomato  :)

three balls of yarn

one hook

one very pretty bag in the making!!!

four balls of questionable yarn

(it's the cheap nasty stuff we bought before we were yarn snobs!!!)

:) :P :P :P ;}

on an old lady's arm...

and you have

ARM KNITTING

if you haven't tried this 

you have to

HAVE TO

and if you have kids

YOU HAVE TO

lots of videos in lots of places 

so go find one and DO IT!!!!!

look 

no snow...

and I found this on Facebook and just had to show it

on a grey day with rain and gloom

I amused moi 

in

theroomontheleft

buttons....who's got the buttons...

ME!

bloooooooo ones

and brown ones

and yellowy orangeie goldish ones

and greeen ones with diamonds in them

:}

no buttons here

just hot pads and scissors in like colours!!!

here

...raindrops on dishcloths

and a bunch of colourful flowers....

went to the store and came home with a couple of treasures

it's 100 degrees F again 

+ humidity

is it winter soon!!!???

when the extra pair of hands aren't around...

and you need to make one of these

from a skein of yarn

well you get yourself one of these fine and dandy

doohickeys

(wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

'tis called

an

Amish style

swift

it holds the skein of yarn

you know

skein

the yarn that isn't rolled into a ball

for the non yarners among you

you can also make a skein on this

if you want to

I guess the spinners put the yarn they spin on this

then they use the yarn winder to make the cute little balls of yarn

 as I don't have the room for a regular swift

the one that looks like an umbrella(-ella-ella)!!!

I got this one that I found on Amazon.com

it was on sale too ...so there was no hesitation

 :)

(wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

so the other day I put the

skein

on the

swift

 and

wound

up the yarn I needed

on the

yarn winder

and made me self some spiffy little

 balls o'yarn

now we're talking yarny

arrrrgh

will hopefully show you what I needed the spiffy balls for

 hopefully soon

'coz it's wool

and it's getting warmer by the day!!!

and it's taking so d yarn LONG
