I wanted to wind yarn to start a new project (because no, none of the projects I have going were crying out to be picked up again now), but I was too lazy to pull the swift and ball-winder out from under all the assorted crap piled in the corner.
So I took a look around and made it work another way.
The arms of the chair were the perfect size. And before you knew it, there was a tidy ball of yarn ready to go.
And after an evening hanging out with knitting friends, I had this.
Much more to come! In time.
The shape of those arms looks just right for the task: wider in front than behind to keep the yarn from slipping off. I was chuckling at the first part, thinking, that is so me, and then the solution. Which looks like it worked really well!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need to bag it and start something new when that new thing is demanding to come to be. Enjoy!
Necessity is the mother of invention!!
