Bobbins.... one never has enough. I have seven, I want more (because I'm still juggling projects... I like cables, but a cable requires X+1 bobbins, where X= the number of plies in the final cable. To spin a 3x2 cable (http://pecunium.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/on-meditative-labor/) I had to get seven bobbins.
My lazy kate is ok, but I think I want to get the slightly more expensive one, and if I'd been more patient, I might've. Then again, I thought about it at the time, and decided I also wanted one which was more portable, so I forwent the extra hundred dollars.
A home-made one will suffice, but if you want to do that talk to me; I've got some ideas on how to not do it, and some thoughts one what one needs to have to make it more than just a thing of minor use, and moderate frustration.
