I also just experience the bulky yarn issue. I normally don't use bulky yarns but am swatching for a design to be felted and so bulky went up on the swift. The winding went great but as you note, as the (huge) ball grew bigger, the winder slowed. Still, it is a great gadget ^_^ Thanks for posting! It is a great winder, I agree.

Especially when the pattern is $6.00 each! I feel each pattern should include instructions or at the very least, references for techniques, to accomodate new knitters and intermediate knitters... even experienced knitters who may not have employed said technique in some time.

I could not afford a proper swift and winder (the good ones are over $200!) so I got this electric one with a 40% off coupon at Joanns. I love how it doesn't keep winding if you're snagged or slower assisting its task, it will just pause and let you do whatever before it detects the ease of tension and continues. I think my only complaint is the ball capacity. If trying to wind thicker yarn you sometimes have to cut the skein in half because the winder will slow the bigger the ball it is winding becomes. Other than that, until I can afford a proper one I enjoy my little Boye ball winder. I actually own the Boye Electric Ball Winder and would be lost without it.

I did the vote on patterns, but an additional comment. Even though I might make modifications to a pattern, I would prefer a pattern at least be detailed enough, so as an intermediate knitter trying something on a new level, I don't have to guess. It is frustrating to me when a pattern says, "make right side same as left, but reverse." I need a little more than that. The knitting bags do look nice. Another great podcast, Kerrie.
