Experiment: How Do Componants "mix". What will be the outcome if you mix a 7 year old, a tinker toy, & some yarn (that needs to be balled)?
Hypothesis: A mess, a big tangle mess.
Materials: Standard Tinker Toy Set, Skein of Yarn, Giggling 7 year old (giggling not required).
Experiment notes: Progress faster when said "7 year old" was not in a fit of giggles. Some minor adjustments needed to be made to accomidate the size of the skein & the weight.
Results: A Newly wound Ball of Yarn.
Conclusion: Lots of fun, a newly wound ball, a 7 year old, (still having the giggles), although the tinker toy swift was fun to make, and fun to play with, I don't think it would last up to very much use, or would work well with heavier weight or larger skeins of yarn. Also with children competing for component parts, once the yarn was wound, my swift didn't last long in "one piece". So lots of fun, but not practical in ahouse with munchikins & lots of yarn.
