Knotted Eggs—Clowns
There are those that love the “clown” eggs—eggs of two or more different colors. I like them, too, and tying them with the Knotted Egg method is very simple. Rather than using one strand of chenille, use two. The colors may be complimentary—like pink and magenta—or they may contrast more—like yellow and bright orange—or whatever. Just tie in both strands, tie the finishing knot and cut away the thread. Then, use both strands (or more if you choose) together to tie a single knot. Clip the chenille tight to the knot and apply a generous drop of flexible head cement.
Now, for the kicker. If you want to emphasize one color a bit more, use different-sized strands of chenille; the small one will be less apparent than the larger one. Further, you can use different sizes to achieve a variety of egg sizes. For example, in the photo below, the top egg is tied with one strand each of medium and small. The bottom egg is tied with two strands of small. Since they are so fast and easy to tie, you can experiment to your heart’s content—have fun.
By using two or more strands of chenille to tie the Knotted Egg, one can make “clowns” of all colors and sizes.
