I Think I Learned Something Today

This could be why I need a swift and ball winder.
I turned this beautiful hank of yarn into......

...this outrageous mess!! It started out simple enough. I was going to wind this hank that I bought at Stiches West into a ball ready to start my next pair of socks. That sounds simple enough, right? Well, 3 hours later this is what I've created.

I've avoided buying a swift/ball winder because I would much rather by yarn than equipment. Most of the time the yarn store winds the yarn for me. so it has not been a huge problem. After today maybe I should decide if I want to spend time unsnarling a mass of unruly yarn or knitting.
