Charity Shop Magic
Whilst hunting through the charity shops of Saltash, Dangermouse (AKA Steve) came upon an old and discarded wool winder for a very, very small amount of cash (sorry Steve, Glittr needs to know it didn't cost �50). This caused much excitment, especially once we realised it ACTUALLY WORKED! This led to frenzied winding, taking the small and sorry machine to its outer limits (starting with hanks of Rowan Summer Tweed and finishing with some Rowanspun Chunky ). The little fella did us proud. Here are some shots showing it in all its wibbly wobbly glory.

I have to say this was the most surprising present I received for either Christmas or my birthday! It's always nice to give a lovely thing a new lease of life, and when it is one so useful that's even better! Can't wait to wind the alpaca my mother has purchased in Australia for me, and I am sure that my dad (the human swift for over thirty years) will be happy too, as it's much faster to wind yarn with this than by hand. What kind and thoughtful chums I am privileged to have! Thanks you thank you thank you!! :D.
