I have been a long time follower of Wendy Johnson and I love (and am a bit afraid) of how fast she can crank out socks. It takes me months to get done what that

Don’t worry, I’m not going to start singing songs about bad hair days (although I’m totally livin’ one today)…
I recently splurged on a Woolee Winder for myself. At first I wasn’t sure I liked it. The Majacraft Little Gem has a hyper sensitive braking system and I
