An action shot -- Jim turning a spindle IN THE DARK, as he was doing when I arrived
So here's the yarn bowl I picked up for Kim.
It's beautiful, made of Vermont apple wood.
Jim's spindles
Fruit woods are so pretty. That apple wood yarn bowl is gorgeous! (So are the scarves!)

I don't know which is prettiest - the bowls, the scarves, or the spindles!

Gorgeous bowl! I have an applewood niddy noddy from Jessie Raymond. Such a pretty wood, though I am a sucker for spalted maples. I have a spindle made out of it. Great action shot!

Gulp! I'd not heard of the OFA until I read about it in your blog. Working on them made me feel like I was getting the gift of support from a friend or a giving a good tummy scratch to Mr. J.--a true win-win situation for everyone.
The bowl, oh the bowl (sigh, drool), is #1 on my Santa List!

I bought a yarn bowl made by a local potter at a spin-in Saturday. (Although it's taller and shaped more like a jug!) Your wood bowl is beautiful---I may be feeling a small collection coming on.

That woodwork is stunning. I'm starting my red scarf tomorrow. Must get at least one done!
