A swift replacement
Posted on Thursday, April 3, 2008 at 5:00 pmCategory: Uncategorized
Behold, my new swift! Thanks to Elizabeth, who commented on this blog on March 10th, I ordered this lovely oak swift from The Knit Store on Etsy. It arrived quickly by priority mail and is absolutely lovely.
Nice price too! The total was $24.95 plus $10 for priority shipping. If I had ordered a smaller size (I see now that I certainly don’t need the large), I would have saved even more money.
I gave up on Yarn Bazaar concerning the swift I bought from them that broke, having heard nothing for weeks now.
I used my new swift yesterday for the first time, and we had a delightful first experience together — no wobbling at all, just quiet, smooth dispensing of the yarn to my ball winder. And I don’t have to clamp it onto the counter. It just sits there silently and does its job.
I am in love with this swift. Romi likes it too.
Thanks again, Elizabeth!!
I have been stripping wallpaper all this week. All stripper jokes aside, this job is NO fun and is a good reminder to head for the paint section instead of the wallpaper department from now on.
