I've got myself a swift and ball winder! I wound a skein as soon as I had it out of the box and assembled (the yarn, by the way is Blue Sky Alpaca white / bluesky to make a ruffled scarf from Mac & Me which I bought at a recent trip to the Village Sheep in New Milford) - excellent!
I was so excited bouncing around showing my husband and the dog, that I couldn't find the center pull bit and panicked for a moment that I would have to re-wind the ball!!
I'm one of the cool kids now baby.

Nice! My dad got me a swift for x-mas, but I haven't tested it out yet... Seeing the joy it's brought you, I think I'm inspired to bust it out this weekend to take it for a run.
I hesitated when I bought my winder and swift thinking it was an expensive purchase. With 40% Joann coupons it was well worth it. Enjoy!

Becca, thanks for the e-card. I have a daughter named Rebecca who also goes by Becca. Great name!!! And yes, the addition of a swift and ball winder to your decor does take a knitter to a new level. Congrats on your acquisition.

I've been knitting for over 28 years...knit a lot of things...rolled a lot of balls... and still haven't spent the yarn budget on a ball winder/swift...
