Don't try this at home...even if you've got Malabrigo on your hands...or, er, around your feet.

Disaster strikes when I have no free hands of a lovely friend of some sorts to act as spindle to my beautifully delicious Malabrigo Yarn so I can ball it and start a hat I'm so dying to make.Alas, I made an attempt with my feet, and while my thighs got a pretty intense 15 minute workout...the end result was less than success.I guess that hat will have to wait...unless my thighs can handle a few more leg lifts.Any spindle arm takers?
