More weaving

I forgot to show off my first weaving project! 

I cut it off the loom on the last day of class back before christmas. 

It seemed like it took forever to weave a 6ft scarf -- maybe because it was a full 9 feet long when I finally took it off the loom. 


Then I took it home, hung it in the closet and forgot about it until after the holidays. 

I finally decided I'd better get it finished before the weather warmed up and I lost the opportunity to wear it to work.  I cut off the extra, ill-matched, 3 feet at the beginning, dealt with the loose ends, tied the fringe, and washed it in cool, soapy water. The final wool, silk, and tencel product is soft, warm and slightly fuzzy. 



There are plenty of flaws, but I'm very happy with it anyway. 

And it is such a kick to wear.

  3. Looks gorgeous to me! I don't know the first thing about weaving. (Well, I guess I did make some of those gawd awful potholders on the little loom when I was a wee lass. But I don't think that counts.) You should wear your soft, colorful scarf and enjoy it to the utmost!
