Looking for a lead

Hello ladies,
Does anyone have any good leads on swifts + yarn ball winders? I am finally breaking down and purchasing a set. I would really appreciate any recommendations you might have. I will likely have to order online given the little place I live in.
Thanks!
Kris

Bragging just a little




Hello! Since they've now arrived, here are some pics of the mitts I knit (and designed myself)! I hope to gosh-darn that they fit my buddy, Cheryl. :)

I was wondering if it might be worth publishing the pattern. Anybody interested in trading a free pattern for test knitting? :) Let me know.

Thank You Kris

I received my mittens from Kris, they are lovely. My colors,nice long cuff, wonderful job knitting. And so many extras, I will post a pic later. My pal, however, has not received her box and I am afraid it is lost. I don't know what to do as I don't have the postal reeipt never having had a package lost. I thought perhaps I will send a second box of goodies right out and then make another pair of mittens. Any thoughts? I am really bummed about this.

My box from Cary arrived! Yay!

And it is an amazing and wonderful package! First off, these beautiful mitered mittens are mine! All mine! And they match my outrageously bright magenta coat. Aren't they beautiful?

Then there's the rest of the box. It is stuffed to bursting with wool from Cary's own flock. And when I say bursting I mean it. She stuffed the box so wonderfully full that after I opened it, I couldn't get the contents compressed back in. All the fibers and yarn are from her flock! That makes it extra special!

Fibers included are:
Deep Teal/Green - Merino Corriedale Pin roving
Natural Cream - 100% Corriedale Roving
Chocolate Brown - Correidale, Pygora, Glitz roving
Natural Fawn - Corriedale, Kid Mohair and silk roving
Natural Grey Yarn - Mill spun worsted weight Corriedale




And if that weren't enough there's White Heather Flavored coffee from her coffee shop and chocolate. Amazing! I am so pleased and happy that I can't thank Cary enough. So thank-you, Cary! Your knitting and wool are so beautiful and I'm lucky to have them!

And this is why I'm a little delayed in posting pictures - two of my babies turned 5.
