84 pictures later...

I still can't get it right.  If I get the color right, the focus is off.  If I get focus, the color and/or brightness suck rocks.
I've tried every setting on the damn camera, and this is the best I can do...


Merino Angora Silk - done!  (I wish this photo did justice to AnnaMarie's lovely fiber...)
3 oz - 1145 yds.
Enough laceweight to knit a shawl, if I ever finish any of the shawls I've already got in progress.  (Trying not to think about Maplewing and Lyra.  And the Feather Duster that I want to make out of the merino/tencel I spun a couple of years ago.  Shhh....)

Hey, look!  I finished something!

(And psssst - last day to enter the guess the lamb contest...  Come on, lurkers - you know you want to!)

    I don't know what's off on that picture, but all of it looks gorgeous! It's going to make a yummy shawl!

    Oops, trying to make the comments work. Blogger can be a pain sometimes.
    Your handspun is beautiful and the picture shows the sheen of the silk, if not the true color. Beautiful and awesome!
