After blogging about the last batch of scarves, I made a couple of decisions. Firstly that I would keep the first one, and secondly that I would try a few new techniques with the second and third.

The skipped stitches of the misbehaving alpaca silk scarf were sewn in, then I tied on some wooden beads. The handspun scarf was stitched and gathered together across the width in several places.

I felted the alpaca silk one. It came out all artsy and reminiscent of seafoam.

I mean to dye the handspun scarf. This is a shibori method I’ve seen on Weavezine and in Handwoven magazine.

The return of relative wellness meant I was able to start catching up on things I’d neglected for the previous five weeks. Including spending three days cleaning the house. (It was in a really bad way, and I could only manage a few hours at a time before zonking out.) So it was a while before I got to weave again. Eventually I finished this scarf woven with Rowan Tapestry, a soft and silvery yarn.

And then I was able to take this one off the loom, too. It’s woven with a single ball of Vintage Hues.

I think I may be done with churning out scarves now. Once I’ve dyed up the handspun scarf I’ll send the second batch off to the relief centre. I’ve got a list of weaving techniques and projects to tackle next. But that’ll have to fit in around a lot of other stuff, since I’m weeks and weeks behind with work, and have a gadzillion things to catch up on.
