Almost Finished!

I am almost finished making scarfs from this warp I put on my loom just before Thanksgiving. I had the bright idea to put a 30 foot warp on, which makes about 5 scarfs but it has taken me a lot longer than I thought it would.  Every time I sit down and weave, I enjoy it so much, but setting aside the time to do it during the holidays took some doing. I have done 4 of the scarfs as color coordinated  and 2 that are what I call Hobo Scarfs, my sister had one she bought that inspired me to create these.

The Hobo scarf are what you see wrapped on the front warp apron. They are in multicolor sections and have tassels hanging at the end of each section. When I finish, I will put the fringe on each end and take some pictures to post. I think they will be interesting pieces. They are fun to make, you don’t get tired of the same colors over and over again because I use all different kinds and colors of yarn. Since I am not a person who can sit long at one project, this type of design works really well for me!
