We just got back from vacation and I am way behind in everything. I am still trying to catch up. So, in the mean time, I am going to show you my other woven scarves.This was actually my 3rd project, so I am going a little out of order. As I said before, there was to be one finished scarf for my class, Weaving 1. That was the red one I blogged about a few weeks ago. This one was done all by myself. A week before our final class, I wanted to make sure that I could make a warp, sley the loom and basically do everything by myself. All the other projects, I have warped the loom under my teacher’s watchful eye and her explicit instructions.I used one skein of Yarntini Self Striping Sock Yarn in the colorway, Grape Ape, for both the warp and weft. With a self striping yarn, I didn't know what to expect. It turned out really well and striped perfectly. As you can see, Miss Melody has claimed the scarf as her own. She has been obsessed with the color purple recently so I was more than happy to give it to her. I am sure she won't mind if I borrow it every once in a while.
This was my second project. It's super long and super soft. Great for those very cold days when I can wrap this scarf several times around my neck and face.The yarn is Pigeonroof Studios Siren Two Sock in the colors: Lettuce and Icicle. One skein of each color. I used both colors to make the warp in a striped sequence. The weaving was randomly done with both colors.

Melody looks gorgeous in the first scarf, such beautiful colors together. I think you have found your calling weaving scarves as you do such great colors together and they look so beautiful!
Lovely!! Your model is getting to be a big girl now!! :)
What pretty scarves! They both look very soft and warm also. How cute that Melody loves the purple one!
They are lovely! And your little girl is as cute as ever. :-)
Beautiful scarves! And Melody is the cutest girl ever!!!
They are all so pretty, I especially like the Lettuce & Icicle coloured one =)
That is easily the cutest scarf model I have ever seen! If you set up shop, you could sell a million of those things with photos like this. ;)
Oh goodness - these are lovely - and you're making me want to buy a loom...
Beautiful scarves! And what a perfect model you have there. Miss Melody is so photogenic.
I love the colors on that second scarf! you're becoming such a pro at weaving. I cannot believe how big Melody is! She's just incredible.
She makes such a great poser! Lovely colors and you are an expert weaver now!
Beautiful scarves! And that is the cutest model I have ever seen! Great poses.
So nice to see the fruit of one's labors (scarves and kids alike!) turn out so well. :)
those are so amazing! I love them! and now I want to take a weaving class, can I handle it though!? lol
The scarves are turning out so nuicely! You should set up one weekend at the Flea.
Love the new banner!
Your new blog design is so pretty and simple! I love it.
Your scarves are amazing! I'm still recovering from my broken noro scarf and haven't had a chance to warp and sley my loom again. For my next project I think I'm going to keep it simple and just use one skein of Plucky MCN fingering for the warp and weft. :)
Hope your vacation was nice.
I love the scarves. It's hard to decide which is my favorite. Melody looks so cute wrapped up in the purple.
Love them!! Particularly the subtle colors of scarf #2.
Wow! Those scarves are AMAZING! I really, really love them both!
