Lots of Pictures, Not Much Talking

Since pictures speak 1000 words and I'm in a hurry I'm going to let my pictures do all most of the talking.

Clown-in-a-blender singles:

I had to hand card the red and blue with horrible old hand cards because my drum carder is in storage until we find our own house. I'm so dedicated...

:-P

Stuff I've finished spinning:

The top is the blended clown, the bottom is some laceweight green/blue merino plied with sea green machine embroidery thread. You can see I spun far too much blue and green for the clown blend. As yarn I must say I think it's quite disgusting but I spun it so I could make a tweed-look knit and felt hat and I think that it will work well. My favourite from the clown blend is the plain green.

:-)

Now for some closeups:

And finally, here's a design I'm thinking of embroidering on a table-runner/doily in case I ever get a nice dressing table, or to look good on my 1950's kitchen cabinet that I have for my studio. If I ever get a studio...

So, what do you think? :-)

Sarah, I love the clown yarn! The blue/green tweed is especially pretty (to me at least!) The dresser scarf pattern seem just right - swirly, but not too girly if you see what I mean.

I also am putting in a vote for the blue and green. I think it will make something very fun in a tweedy/funky kind of way. Though the bottom closeup is my favorite. There is something very elegant about it.
