Yarn Winder

Found myself a new/old toy.  It's a little yarn winder.  My mother had one just like it and it found a home with one of my sisters.  I've been looking for years for another and found it on eBay the other day.

My mother was an expert knitter and this yarn winder brought back many warm memories when I was a child helping her wind yarn for her projects.  All of us always had sweaters, mittens, hats and, of course, lots of slippers.

Now I have to find a proper belt and clamp for it.  The rubber band has just a little too much stretch!

Today was a good day.  Isn't it cute?
