Last night was the start of Balderdash. I thought it started Wed for some reason so this left me scrambling.

Luckily help came in the most unexpected way. My neighbor, who owns a landscaping business, knocked on my door asking if there was room in our yard wast bin. It turns out he was on a deadline to finish removing the city’s Christmas decorations and brought the last of it home with him.

The industrial wood chipper had made short work of the mess, decorations included. I told him I had a better way to help. Grabbing my spindle I began twirling and shouting

“By the power of centrifugal force I am spinning yard waste!!!”

When I was done everything was neatly chain-plied and skeined, laying in their driveway. Here’s a picture of it laying by the side of their house.

It’s about 15lbs and 8,807yrds of DK weight yarn.
