Headed back to Mums where we dug out her contraption for winding skeins of wool into balls...

| Skein in mid-fall-off |
After the kids got back from feeding the cattle they helped as well - Yay.
Still it was worth it in the end. Dainty... erm... well... roundish balls of cotton ready to be knitted into a plethora of dishcloths for various gifts etc.

4 people love me:
I love those "contraptions" (for the want of another word) that make wool winding easier. I wind my skeins with a wooden one but I don't have a ball winder, have to do that by hand.
Why does your comment page show my real name and not that of my Blogger name? Hmmm, I'll have to work on that one.
Cheers Joy (aka Olive)
Hi Olive :) Is is picking up your name from your gmail account?? (You can change the display name in google if you need to, under account/email addresses username). Or have you made another comment in disqus using Joy? That sort of thing is so annoying. I have the same problem with Caitlyn Nicholas and Tory (my real name), and get around it by only commenting using the one web browser (safari) and keeping all the Tory stuff in another (chrome).
My mother is the contraption queen, she haunts ebay and is at all the craft fairs (she's involved with Machine Knitters NSW) where she finds a lot of things as well. :)
I love the colors.
Worra load of lovely balls luv! ♥
