Yay! A new toy!
Don't you love new toys? I do! Today I received my new swift. I was so excited when I arrived home and it was waiting for me. As soon as I set it up, we both got to work. Now, I have mixed reviews.While it really is just fine... turns well, no rough edges, is the right size, etc..., I'm now realizing I should have ordered a different style.
My old swift had a hand crank, my new one does not. The handle breaking off my old swift is what prompted the ordering of a new swift. Now it seems that finding one with a handle would have been my top priority. But dork that I am sometimes, I didn't even look for that. So, I am just going to have to build up my arm/shoulder muscles and spin it myself!
The light blue yarn on the swift is being recovered from a wool/silk thrifted sweater. More about that later.
