    no problem. Are you feeling better today? I'll experiment with the Knit n Spin to see if it would work for the pound yarn. If the idea I have works, I believe the Knit n Spin would help you work with your yarn easier since there is no pulling of the yarn. HUGS, Shelly

    I have a hand crank that stays clamped to my tv tray by my chair.
    So if I come across a mess or a knot in a pull out then I can wind
    it up. Also I learn how to wind a center pull out on my hand so if I
    am somewhere else I can wind it on my hand and still have center pull.

    Those of you who have no problem with their yarn from stores pullin out from center are really lucky! It seems I can never find the middle yarn to pull it from I dig through both sides usually with no luck! If I get one from store that I see the end it is usually a ball of yarn barf when pullin! I usually have my boys help me roll my yarn in balls for me (well I did when they were younger and they thought it was fun LOL!)! I can't start a project unless my yarn is rolled up, because of my horrible luck! Now seashells Shelly's really sounds awesome and everyone I know loves it! Now on the other side on crochetgeek.com she has a tutorial where you can use a toilet paper cardboard thingy and split the end to hook your yarn around then wrap your yarn around the cardboard and the end result is you can pull the yarn from the center! Something like that you all would have to check it out! I hope I didn't offend anyone I didn't mean to! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE and ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HOOKS A MOVIN! LOVE YOUR FRIEND MANDA!

    No worry about offending anyone. We all should share with each other anything that works. Myself, I really want the spinners from Shelly and others will be grateful for your recommendation for the other way. If we all try to be considerate of each other there is no reason to worry about offending anyone.
