But the main thing I did was create this:
Yes another scarf. I hope that it suits the one who asked me to make it. It certainly suits me.
In fact I look downright dashing in it and my newsboy cap. Ha ha....who am I kidding. The cap is there to hide my hair which I didn't even comb today. But the scarf is amazingly rich in color. But I know I won't get to keep it regardless. I had another friend see a peek of it so she is second on the list for it. The reason I am uncertain about the one who commissioned it, is that she doesn't want stripes - but she does want multiple colors. Since weaving is inherently straight lines, that makes stripes of some manner difficult to avoid. However, I don't think this really comes off as stripes when it is worn.
I never got around to turning on the sewing machine. Truthfully, I have at least three more scarf orders and want to fill them as soon as I can.
Weaving these scarves has really helped me to see that most colors will work together. The big question is "What goes on the loom next?"

Very nice! You had a very productive day!
You do look dashing!!! Love the scarf...love the snow days!
So much fun on a snowy day
Such rich color in that scarf. I am sure there will be a long line for it.
Lovely! I did some weaving yesterday too. Got lost in the meditative frame loom over and under-ing by hand, but didn't complete my project. Need a heddle loom to be more quickly productive! Not yet though. I'm enjoying the process.
Looks like a snow day well spent!
Good morning Gene those beautiful colors just glisten-I hope your client still loves it even with the stripes. what fibers did you use?
Happy weaving Kathy
Another fabulous scarf! You are a weaving machine these days....I'm sure your customers love you!
Gene, you look dashing in that cap and scarf. BTW, the scarf looks so warm and cozy, perfect for a freezing day like today here in central Texas 31 degree with a wind chill factor of 25....can you say..."burrrrrrrrr"
