Project: Scarf
Materials: Warp and Weft - 10/2 Tencel (Lilac)
Pattern: 2/2 horizontal herringbone twill (p.34 of Handweaver's Pattern Directory)
Dimensions on loom: 11 3/8" x 72"
Dimensions after finishing (not including fringe): 10" x 68"
I'm learning a lot with each project, mostly things not to do or things that could be done easier in a different manner. I'll be glad when all those things are burned into my brain and projects will move along faster. This was my first attempt at warping from back to front. I thought for a while that it was going to go in the trash, but thankfully, it straightened itself out. And James was home so I had an extra set of hands for tensioning. Overall, it was slow going because I'd read a little and do a little, check my work, and do some more. But the end product certainly justified the time. I wish you could feel through the screen. This stuff is soooo soft!

I got to see this scarf (a practice project for the bigger shawl she wants to make) in person and it's amazing. I have attempted to weave with a double shuttle loom a couple of times -- it's fun -- but when I saw her work I was impressed because I would not be able to tell you that it wasn't done by a machine it was perfect. Knowing you, Theresa, I know you have personal knowledge of where all the "mistakes" are, but take it from me it's beautiful! Fantastic work!!
