My New Love
I never thought I would tell a skeinwinder, "I love you", but I have been all week long! I dyed about 150 skeins earlier this week and I have been loving life ever since! This Wil Taylor skeinwinder allows me to reskein about 20-30 skeins an hour. Translation: hours and hours and hours of time saved each week! I had to wait about 2 months for my order to come, but it was worth the wait! A big thank you goes out to Julia for recommending this model to me :)
And look, another FO! I knit up this baby blanket in less than a week out of Rowan Soft Baby.. Let me tell you, its soft! Unfortunately, this FO is not staying with me... its off to the store today to be a model. Bye, bye, blankie!
Pattern: Corner to Corner Blanket from Knit Baby Blankets!
Yarn: Rowan Soft Baby #008
Measurements: Makes about a 30" square (mine was 32 from corner to corner)
Started: August 11, 2006
Finished: August 17, 2006
Other Details: I used just about 4 balls for this blanket, which is a rather low cost project (around $28). Downside... its not superwash and eaily felts.

letWhat will happen to your old skeinwinder? If you're thinking of selling it, I might be interested.
And thanks for your help in finding the right yarn for my baby sweater. It's coming out really nicely!
OOO, new toys! I actually reskeined my yarn last night, but with a niddy noddy, of course.
I'm curious, what about the new skein winder makes it that much of an improvement? I'm starting to look into skeinwinders.
That skeinwinder is seriously cool.
That is an awesome skeinwinder! The blanket is beautiful!
Why is the skeinwinder so much better? I like the design. I just got a Fricke electric skeinwinder which is quite amazing, but for a different purpose. For going from cones to skeins.....I'll have to look at that one for yarn re-skeining...
