that swiffer’s handmade

Filed under: yarn, etc — Elizabeth @ 12:11 am

Meant to post this earlier in the week, but my day job’s been a total nightmare. Anyway, check this out:

“What on earth is that?” you ask? Keep going….

Ever been in a yarn store? Then you may have seen one of these before. Observe:

The next time I’m in a fancypants yarn store and they ask, “Would you like your yarn wound?” I’ll say, “No, thank you.”

The coolest part? Leland made it out of random parts from the hardware store. That’s a wooden cabinet knob on the top.

Fancypants yarn stores in New York City are too damn small.

    He made that? AWESOME! Those things cost a fortune at the knit shops I frequent here. That’s super swanky, dear.

    P/S Tell Leland I started “West with the Night.” I’m loving it
