The Final Product - Custom Rainbow Scarf 

Well, at long last, the custom scarf I made for my friend Greg has been been completed and will be shipping to Wisconsin very soon.

It’s been in the works since early January and now in March it has been completed and is ready for him wear.  

The process took a while since I was not working on it full time, wove two scarves before removing from the loom,  and just grab time on the weekends and a few week nights.  I really should track my time during one of these so I know how long it actually takes!

Fortunately, we are still having cold weather, so I hope he can get some wear out of it this season.

Second scarf from this warp coming to my Etsy shop later today!

Recognize the pattern? I used this scarf for my new shop and blog graphics!

Thankfully Completed! 

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with your loved ones on Thursday, I know we did.  Still full!

I cannot believe it has been over a month since my last posting, but time has really slipped away from me.  However, I have been weaving in the intervening time, just not as many hours. While this warp gave me many problems and challenges in the beginning, I have tamed it and successfully executed the Strickler 728 pattern.  I love it’s wild variety and symmetry.

This first runner--which may not end up being a runner--has been completed.  I wasn’t sure I would ever get it to length, but eventually with steady weaving I did.

This time I won’t be taking the fabric off the loom, but will continue working on the next Strickler pattern (726) on the same warp.

As you may remember, this warp ended up being much wider than planned and I’m not sure it will be a suitable runner.  I won’t know for sure until after wet finishing and seeing how much it shrinks in width.

Other possibilities include Decorative towels, napkin set or pillow covers.  Since I have enough warp for three runners, each using a different Strickler pattern, I may end up with one set of each.  

Anyway, I’ll be back soon with pics of the new pattern that’s weaving up. 

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the wonderful Holiday Season with those you love.

Custom Scarf Woven To Length!  

This weekend, my first custom ordered scarf was woven to the appropriate length length on the loom.  After hemstitching the end to secure the warp into the bundles needed for twisted fringe, I unrolled it a bit and took this picture. I love how the rainbow pattern in Strickler #728 worked out with the gradient on this scarf.  

The color balances between hot and cool colors lined right up down the middle of the scarf.  I cannot wait to see how the rainbow fringe turns out, but first I have another scarf to weave in a different pattern variation before that can happen.

I’ve sent an update to Greg, my customer, with this photo, but he has not yet seen it.  I hope he likes it.
