My yarn winder has arrived, and it works!

It's fast, it doesn't hurt my wrists (like using a stick does), it can do 100g cakes and it makes the idea of dealing with about 6 kg of mostly very thin yarn much less daunting than having to make balls by hand.

Now, filed under #crafterProblems, out of said 6kg of yarn

exibit 1: merinos/silk/cashmere, to be worked with something like 4mm needles, a basque beret for my mother¹, who's making a cardigan with the rest of the yarn

¹ my mother's head is the same size as mine. hat -stealing-borrowing *may* happen.

exibit 2: thin merinos/silk/cashmere, meant for machine knitting; probably worked on 3 mm circulars in a simple lace pattern as a big triangular shawl for myself¹

¹ I won't complain too much if my mother wants to steal it sometimes :)

exibit 3: my felted slippers for the next winter, because I can't really order just a yarn winder from a LYS and not buy a bit of yarn, right? even if I've just bought a truckload of yarn from somewhere else.

Now the problem is: which project should I start?

(the answer is either “all of them“ or “at least two of them”, of course :D and the one that will probably wait are the slippers)

Oh, and of course yesterday I've started a new project, but at least this one is a quick one: a felted belt pouch (and a fauxdori cover in the same yarn/stitch).

And now the shawl has been started too (and it feels like that yarn is going to make a very nice, soft and light shawl).
in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

I'm so excited to see how the shawl progresses!
I have a few WIPs started right now too. I'll need to post pictures soon.

heh, I remember that type :D Grandma used to let us play with this a lot to get the yarn done.

play as in “get the kids to do the boring repetitive work by telling them it's play”, right? :D
