(And I'm a slow knitter!) It's a fun pattern as well. I gave myself a 15 minute knitting break this afternoon - and loved every minute of it!<br /><br />Sara - I am shocked that it took you 5 years to learn to like the scarf. I love scarves because if you go somewhere and are too cold, you can wrap up in your scarf. Plus it gives you a chance to have all that yarny goodness close at hand!<br /><br />I am thinking about cowls which are everywhere on knitting blogs right now. Can't decide if they're a do or a don't!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-8585132402950374922009-11-24T18:50:01.509-05:002009-11-24T18:50:01.509-05:00That will be a wonderful gift - I am just learning...That will be a wonderful gift - I am just learning to like scarves!

Should finish that tomorrow morning! Yay!<br /><br />And am sitting contemplating the work I have to do to finish this dyeing project. I'm not sure I like to dye....so it's a bit tough working up the resolve to just do it!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-76209206203437346182009-11-24T09:19:57.384-05:002009-11-24T09:19:57.384-05:00LOL, oh my you have been busy!

Wahoo! <br />Well, back to sleying for me...sigh....doesn't it almost always seem like everyone else's creative endeavors are more exciting than your own at any given point?Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-36647443012075823592009-11-24T07:17:04.006-05:002009-11-24T07:17:04.006-05:00For the woven scarf, I fixed the broken selvedge b...For the woven scarf, I fixed the broken selvedge by re-arranging some of the left edge. And I'm part of the way through re-threading so I'll have a straight draw. I've got weft all picked out, and hope to be sampling any day now.<br /><br />I've been interrupted by this dye project. I didn't realize when I brought home free dye, that it was already mixed and I should freeze it or use it. I was planning to freeze it, but changed my mind and decided to just go for it and use it. I spent all free moments on the weekend winding skeins and had a first big dyeing day yesterday. <br /><br />So dyeing has badly interrupted other creative activities....but I'm still working on the scarf an hour a day no matter what. I think I have one more dye session and I'll be done. (Although I still have rinsing to do on skeins of red, purple and turquoise...so the first session isn't all the way done.)<br /><br />I totally expected to be posting about the woven scarf by now....but soon I hope!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635600553883200682.post-80467719234501005822009-11-24T07:02:58.035-05:002009-11-24T07:02:58.035-05:00It is beautiful yarn no matter what you make with ...It is beautiful yarn no matter what you make with it!<br />Glad the frogging and such worked for proper width. <br />How is the woven scarf coming along?Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.com
