Swiftly
Here is the swift that my dad made for me. The base is made of wenge, a really dense and dark hardwood - so smooth when sanded! The arms are zebrawood and the pegs are walnut. It is, all in all, quite fancified. Also, it works great. I have balled up the 8 skeins of handpainted and am finally doing this sock yarn that I dyed ages ago for the now-defunct Orangina. I love the red and orange. Maybe I can make it into a shawl? On needles larger than size 2? I suppose I could always double it. Don't know why I have shawls on my mind. I would probably never wear one. I sort of like the idea, though. Of the right shawl that is. I'm sure I would know it if I saw it...
All in all, a quiet day Chez Villain. Cleaning is progressing slowly, but at least it is progressing. Tonight Taryn is coming over and there will be much Magicking (and knitting, too, hopefully). Maybe I will finally make those pumpkin cookies I have been talking about...
