The scarf I started weaving Saturday is finished. Every picture that I took shows it as green and white. It is really forest green and a lighter green that is between mint and sage. The label says "woodland heather." I tried to do color correction in the photo editor but the results are still not correct.
When I put the scarf around my neck, the fringe hangs to my knees. I can wrap it around my neck twice easily. Not including the fringe it is six feet long. I am very happy with the results. It is soft yet has a nice body to the fabric. I think that it looks very classy when I have it on. It would look at home with a black or gray or tan classic overcoat (think London Fog.) But it would also look very sporty with a black or brown bomber jacket. Color me happy!

And I can't resist posting the sunset from yesterday. It started as a rainy dreary day..but it surely did end gloriously.

I love this, very pretty! Great job Gene.
ReplyDeleteThat scarf is absolutely gorgeous. You're so making me want to do some weaving. Seems to go faster than knitting or quilting.

The scarf is beautiful and sounds like the perfect length. Amazing sunset :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good scarf for St. Patrick's Day . . . or Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf, beautiful sunset.
ReplyDeleteGreat weaving job Gene. I am so impressed by your work.
Wow, I agree with Marjorie, it does go quicker than knitting. But the caveat is that you need a real loom like you have, Gene. My box loom wit over-ing and under-ing goes about the same as knitting. I still like doing it though. It is really beautiful, Gene! Congratulations! So is the larger loom for sale? ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful Gene, you just a bundle of talent!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks wonderful, Gene!!! We need a photo of you wearing it, though.
