You really did not know you had wanted this before you tried it! This is a fantastic tool for putting those easy to tangle yarns on and it spins around as you knit without the yarn tangeling og twisting up on itself! I think this might just have become my new favorite tool! Now I cant even call the Zauberball yarn for Zaubercrap anymore because I have this great tool to keep the yarn in place and distribute it evenly without tangling!

It is called a garnfidus and I bought it at Geilsk.

How to get Zephyr/Spectra needles “unsticky”?

March 5th, 2010

Well I got a tip to try to wax them… I think they are to sticky to knit with!

Well, you probably wonder if it worked by now… and… no it did not work!

Complete waste of time!

Anyone who has a good tip for getting these needles to be a little less sticky?

A sweater that was supposed to be for Enzo

March 4th, 2010

I knit this sweater for Enzo (you knew I couldnt resist knitting him something right!) but it came out way to small for him so I am going to have to knit him a new one.

The model in these pics is my daughters toy Chihuahua that fits it perfectly.
