While thinking about today’s post, I ate the last of the lemon curd, slathered on a toasted bagel. 

 

Now I remember why I don’t make lemon curd all that often–not because it’s at all hard to make, but because I just hog it all down.  I have a similar weakness for homemade caramel sauce, which I have been known to eat straight out of the frig with a spoon.  Someday I’ll share that recipe (really more of a technique) with you all.

My spinning wheel has been packed up in its handy-dandy carrying case for a few weeks, patiently awaiting my attention.  My problem?  I have so many cool spinning projects going on, I’m finding it hard to choose which one to work on.

There’s the white Suffolk lambswool.

And the undercoat of the double-coated fleece, which I’m spinning about as fine as I can.

And the naturally-colored Romney, which has been in the works for some time.

                            Seen here reposing against the Handsome Triangle shawl.

And, last but not least, mohair and a wool-mohair blend, which are destined to be plied together in the same fashion as this skein, which was gifted to Ellen at Christmas.

I think what I’d like to work on is the Suffolk–finishing up that partial bobbin and plying the two bobbins together.  Hindering my progress at this point?  Every bobbin I own has something on it, therefore making it hard to ply anything off onto another bobbin.  And I have a lazy streak about a mile wide which prevents me from actually taking anything off a bobbin and making a ball out of it.

Oy.
