Shims, Ball Winders and Quality of Life

So, I was cruising Youtube and came across a great post talking about using a dismembered clothespeg to shim a toilet paper roll onto a ball winder.



Lacking clothespegs, I instead riffled DH's collection of popsicle sticks. I put the sticks inside the TP roll, to wedge the roll in place so it doesn't fly off while I am turning the winder. It works great. And now I can move a lot of balled yarn into cakes/cones, and get knitting!
