My cunning plan to cast on a new pair of socks last night ran into a bit of trouble.

Still, luckily I don't mind a spot of untangling and if anything, finagling this will reduce my stress levels a bit tonight.

Plus then I get to look forward to actually casting on, yay! 😅

I ran into a similar issue the other night when I was starting a headband, I ended up staying up until 1am to untagle the whole dang thing, but I just couldn't go to bed with that mess on my mind lol 😅

I used this Youtube video to turn it into a center pull ball and since then I've been doing the same to all my leftover yarn.

@kurobita Worst part is I literally have a swift and winder, but convinced myself it would be ok to do this one by hand to avoid making noise while watching TV 😅
