Crochet Seagull Pattern in Mikey's Office

The crochet seagulls in Mikey's office are crocheted by a local crocheter called Idle Handscrochet. She specializes in selling Amigurumi locally here in Nova Scotia. The crochet seagulls are my most favourite thing ever. I call them my pattern gulls. Pattern. Pattern. Pattern.

Homemade Magnetic Yarn Unwinding Tool

Mikey got hooked on a yarn magnetic holder to unwind balls from the outside that are floating on a magnet. Since he found this several years ago, he's been using it daily, but realized there may be a problem with it. It created an opportunity to make a homemade contraption that he is currently using in his TV Room as he crochets.

What yarn winders and yarn swifts do I recommend?

I use two different yarn ball winders consistently. Both have properties that separate them from each other. Notice that either of them is battery-powered or powered in any way. Hand cranking is strongly recommended. I will share why below.
