Gotta love fingering-weight scarves

I finally sat down and finished the Lacy Baktus. This Waterlilies color is hard to photograph, but it's very multicolored in a very subtle way. Being a long triangle, it blocked nicely from a 140cm scarf to 234! Perhaps I overdid it, because the ends are very pointy and the whole thing looks narrow, but I love it long :)


I hung it on the line for the last bit of drying, with one peg on each point.

Then I finished my second woven scarf. I used a different (smaller) heddle, which makes the gap between the lengthways yarn. This heddle is a "10dpi" and the lengthways yarn, called the "warp" is about 90g of the rest of the blue Serena from May (same as your gloves, Kelly). I used it all up, which ended up being 78 strings. I used some hand dyed sock yarn to do the acrossways yarns (the "weft") and I ended up running out of space, which is amazing, since my "warp" was 3.8 meters!! The scarf wasn't that long once the ends were cut off. A bit over 3m, I think. (I'm updating at MacDonalds because their WiFi is better than my home internet, though the details of this scarf are at home...) (edited to add "3.3 meters or 130")

What's funny about a 3m scarf, is that it is for my little 3yo :)

Jasmine loves it, though. I put it through the washer and dryer and it came out lovely and fluffy! Imagine making a scarf with 200g of fingering weight that takes less than a week to finish. Sigh. I love this loom-thing!

Here's a pic for you, Kelly. The yarn didn't fade at all, and I loved the colors. It's mostly blue, but there were pretty bits of purples and greens... as you probably remember. It just left a tiny line over my left index finger, where it rubbed.

For my next trick, I owe Byron a scarf. (As I neglect the trio when I'm weaving, I promised Byron and Jasmine a scarf each. They were both keen. Unfortunately for me, he takes after Daddy in his color preferences.

"Black."

"Black and red? You like black and red."

"No, just black."

"What about a tiny bit of red, just a few little stripes...?"

"I just want Black, Mummy. No other colors. No little bits of colors. Just black. Only black. All black."

"Sigh..."

"But not as long as Jasmine's scarf, okay?"

hehehe.
