New Yarn Winder

I was in the  market for a new yarn winder.  Some ladies, on one of my facebook knitting groups had suggested the Laci's.  I read a lot of reviews.  They weren't good.

Another lady recommended the Stanwood.  I was looking for a larger one.  I read the reviews on this and it got excellent reviews.  So, I bought it.

I've wound yarn and I love it.  No noise.  I love the way the caked yarn comes out.  I was using a Royal, but, it was making a lot of noise.

I highly recommend it, if you're in the market for a new one.  The Stanwood Company has replacement parts, too.

I absolutely love this pattern and the yarn I used.  Yarn is called Seascape.  It's a hand-dyed yarn by  https://www.etsy.com/shop/DellasCrochetCottage/sold?page=3&ltid=1024812941 She can also be found on Facebook.  She has her own group named The Cottage.  Some of her yarns are one of a kind, sometimes you have to pre-order, too.  She doesn't have all the yarns she dyes in her Etsy shop .  She posts pictures of her yarns on her group or, she can also be found on the group Knitting 3.  Her name is Adella Colvin and she is a very nice person.

Four Months in 2016

This is April. It hasn't been a pleasant month.  I was in the hospital for 10 days, which seemed like a year. I went in with severe stomach pains.  I've had this condition for over a year, but, the tests the GI Dr. did, had not shown anything.  This time, when I went to the ER, I was bloated quite a bit.  I felt like I was having sextuplets!!!! In the ER, the nurse hooked  me up to the machine that shows heart rate, BP & oxygen level.  Well, I knew I had a heart problem, but the Dr.'s never caught the fibrillation, until that morning.  The heart rate was all over the place.  The nurse asked me if I was ever diagnosed with an irregular heart beat.  I said no, but, I knew something was wrong since my 50's. I wore a heart monitor until the day before I was discharged. Now, I know for sure.  I'm on Zaralto ( I can be just like Arnold Palmer, when I grow up!!!) and a heart rate pill.  Life is GRAND!!!!! My stomach pains:...
