When I wind yarn cakes, I wind them slow and loose.  I do not wind cakes tight.  The yarn is beautiful and will knit beautiful.   Some say winding yarn and making a cake stretches the yarn.   I know first hand yarn cakes make knitting easy and fun when done slowly and loose.   I never wind tight, the cakes can sit for a long time, the winding does not hurt the yarn.

OK enough said.   Go out and Knit!!

Yarn Cakes are the best

I posted earlier today about yarn cakes, I can not say enough.  The yarn is so beautiful to work with.
I only work with Brown Sheep Yarn, made in the USA.  I love the idea that color here today will most likely be here tomorrow.  Many yarn companies buy their yarn overseas, when it gets here it takes months.   The colors come and go so fast....Brown Sheep Yarn changes it colors every season but leave the popular colors to know you can go back to again and again.  

I take the Brown Sheep Yarn and wind in Yarn Cakes by hand with a Jumbo Yarn Winder, I have had this for over 30 years....very reliable and does a great job.

So today I am working with White Frost, Color SWB11 in the Bulky Superwash.  I love the super wash for kids and adult items that I know will get hard wear.

Back to the needles.  Have a great Knit Day!

Yarn Cakes

Knitting, Crocheting, weaving and more.  Yarn cakes are my go to.

I will start selling yarn, only in cake form.  Why Yarn Cakes?  They save time, and you can create without having to work with tangle yarn.  The main love, they can be stacked and organize...yes organize.

They take time to make on yarn winder but worth the extra effort.  You can sit and knit without hassle plus be organized.

What Happen to You???

What Happened

OK OK, I have been a way to long.  Yes, I am knitting. Yes I am quilting.  Just some health issues have come up and totally has put me down.   I just started knitting Arans again and so happy to do so!

This is a pattern I am working on right now for a hat.   I am almost done, have redone several times to get the top right.  It is taking time but this morning I think I have it!!  How fitting, a snow storm is headed our way.

Yes, I have been put down to a crawl, it takes everything I can do to keep going and take care of just house.   I will have surgery March 18 and pray it helps.  I won't go into the boring details, just have not felt good for a long time and just thought it is old age, loosing my Twin, loosing my Mom and just happens.  NO.  I will go under the knife and recoup and back to Life!

Knitting is my Joy.  Knitting is something you can do anywhere.  Knitting helps at doctor appointments, Hospitals and any time you need to sit for a while and wait.

I have happy news.  I am working on patterns, to sell, need to pay the doctor and hospital bills.  I am dreaming of investing in a web cam so I can show you how I knit.  I have been knitting for over 50 years and find I get great results that many people ask me about all the time.

Have a great day!....back to knitting
