As a child I used to "punik" a lot, and I used lots of left over yarn from my grandmother and aunts. So yes. I do know how to make a nice ball of yarn.Aurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04538247058229504410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796344272644013649.post-33285125079775255482012-04-28T17:02:25.260+02:002012-04-28T17:02:25.260+02:00So how great does it feel to have your own McGyver...So how great does it feel to have your own McGyver? <br />I didn't know the extend of the yarn collapse omg that sounds horrible.<br />I had once a knotting nightmare while balling some yarn. I thought I would cry.<br /><br />I'm ashamed to say I can't build shit! But my dad always do things himself and it's fantastic.<br />Like for example, last year when I had to block the cube...i knitted 4 sides in the round and i had no idea how to block that perfectly. Well my dad made me a custom size blocking plank. LOL and I used NAILS to fix it down. LOL<br />That was my first blocking experiment =PMrsMixxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365102727421687254noreply@blogger.com
