Spinning Milk And Honey

Day 158: I have always found that I make more progress at the start of a project than at the end. I tend to get bored easily, and although I am not guilty of having a houseful of unfinished crafts, some seem to linger longer than they should. The first two two-ounce skeins of Purple People Eater went quickly. The third began well, but then began dragging its anchor. However, when I wound it up, the fourth and last was hard to start, and after spinning a quarter of it, I set the wheel aside and worked on bandweaving for a couple of weeks. When I finally said, "Okay, I've got to get that stuff off the wheel," I went at it with a will. I completed it in the evening two nights ago, and rather than put the wheel to bed empty, I spun up a few yards of another wool which I'm calling "Milk and Honey" for the cream-and-caramel blend of natural colours. Yesterday, I worked up roughly half an ounce spinning off the fold (technique shown in the upper image), and this morning, I finished the first one-ounce bobbin of singles. That was fast! Given that I have a whole pound of the wool, we'll see how long it takes before it's done, or whether I feel I need a mental break to a different colour.
