Early Birthday Present!

Check out the awesome birthday present I bought myself:

MY VERY OWN BALL WINDER!! YAY!!

I couldn't afford a swift, but I just tossed the hank over a chair back and it worked well enough. Near the end it started getting tangled a bit, but it was still so much faster than rolling by hand even if I had to stop a few times to work out the knots.

And what's on the ball winder? The pretty new yarn I bought to make the lace ribbon scarf. It is knit picks gloss in "cosmos." The yarn is really soft - it's 70% merino wool and 30% silk, fingering weight. Only $3.99 a skein! Man, I love Knit Picks! I know I already have too many wips, but the scarf is going to be my new commuting project because I won't need to follow a pattern.

p.s. My birthday is May 30 - next Friday!
