Is it bad when you make a moebius out of a hank?

So without a ball winder and swift ... I have lots of hanks to wind. I found my top dresser drawer and a toilet paper tube work quite well for the occaisional roll. However, now I am wishing for something a bit more BOND (as in James). A high tech toy to wind my yarn. So I am imagining an attachment to my kitchen aid (instead of the usesless: ice cream maker, sausage maker, pasta roller or orange juicer) I want a automatic skein winding attachment. This seems to me to be a simple matter of re-purposing. Do you think we could convince the company to lower American cholesterol and assist weight loss by encouraging knitters? Imagine making a batch of low fat cookies while winding your yarn. Yep, sounds like perfection to me! For those not fortunate enough to have the mixer ( I inheirited mine from my grandma, it's 40 years old and the attachments are still designed to work with it, talk about legacy inclusion!) How about this... a bobbin fitter, it would go over the bobbin maker on the sewing machine and would wind the yarn same as it does thread. Any other nutty ideas?
