ever spend two or three evenings winding lace weight yarn into a ball?
i have.
something i plan never to do again.
the true advantage of these simple plastic gadgets (beyond saving wasted time on balling hank yarn) is the ease of which it winds the yarn into a loose center pull ball that allows you to knit without yanking the yarn repeatedly tuning the skein into a flopping fish out of the water jumping around pretending to be a chew toy for your dog.
possibly the best money i have ever spent.

Ha, ha so true! You fall in love with these silly plastic winders after making a sweater with old fashion Yarn Balls rolling around.
Though, my experience winding lace ended badly.
I've been looking into getting a ball winder for a while now... sitting and balling up yarn by hand is just getting way too painful...
i can't believe you didn't have one of these before!
ps. i am SO serious about moving to Austin, we'll see what happens. i can't do another year here.
