Aren't They Gorgeous?
This is the view as I drive up the hill and out of my driveway. It's enough to make you want to stay at home! I walked around when I got home from school today and took a bunch of pictures. You won't see those until I have a suitable "after" picture to show with it. Let's just say the score is Char: 1 Weeds: 1066
For those of you who haven't seen the results of overblending - here's your chance! (sorry about the shadows) The skein in front is from the blended batts and the skein in front is from the second batch of roaster roving.
The well-blended yarn isn't really as ugly as it looks on screen, but it's a very muted variegation. Maybe I'll use a strand of each for another fulled bag. My daughters seem to think they grow on trees.

I don't think the muted skein is ugly. Just think "subtle"!

I like both the skeins, and I think it's really interesting to see the different results you get through different prep and spinning.

Posted by: Catherine at May 8, 2004 09:46 PMThe flowers are lovely -- I know nothing about gardening. Also, you could put those skeins in a mixed warp with some bright jewel colored yarn alongside and it would be wonderful.
