Crossroads
This is the last little bit of the first half of my silk.
I could spin silk forever. Once I finish up this tiny bit, I face a crossroad of sorts. I can go on with my original plan, switching out bobbins and spinning the rest up for a nice two-ply laceweight. This is my first silk, after all, and I can always buy more later (possibly in other colors).
OR
I can spin up the rest of the silk on this bobbin and order a second hank of silk for the second bobbin of singles. That way I would have twice the finished yarn for a much bigger lace project. Yes, it's been almost two years since I bought the silk, but because of the color variation I don't think it would be a problem.
What do you think?

Get some more silk! It looks gorgeous. I have issues about stuff being on my wheel too long, but I suspect it's a just my impatience... Wearing handspun silk turned into knitted lace would be wonderful.
Do your girls like the playground at Stephens Lake? We could meet there for some public spindle-spinning while the girls play.
