right before the holidays, i very happily inherited an antique yarn swift that used to belong to big b's grandmother (thanks mom!). the same grandmother that taught me how to crochet when kai was in a bouncy seat. how special is that?::
look at that beautiful center pull ball of mink deliciousness (more on the yarn and it's pattern destination later). also, look at that angle on the yarn that ellie is helping me wind. i helped the tension along a little and things went smoothly for our trial run. next time we will rearrange some furniture to get a better line up. i was a little excited to get started winding. i love, love this gorgeous swift. and i miss, miss, miss you grandma schneck!
