Scarves

This year my daughter brought her little girl to our guild sale. At a little more than 2 I did not think she would be very interested but there she was curly red hair and all - just so excited by the array of scarves. She constantly picked out scarves that were either pink or purple. I promised to make her a scarf for Christmas.

I decided if I used both pinks and purlples in the warp, I could do one with a pink weft and one with a purple weft. Her mom is expecting a new baby in May and so I decided Baby Alive would be a good Christmas present. Ok now the doll will get a matching scarf as well.

Scarves are so easy to weave. I quickly made up the warp and warped it on the loom. For the first scarf, I used the pink nubbly yarn as weft. The second scarf used a multi coloured soy silk yarn - the colours ranged from pinks to purples. For the doll's scarf I used the pink hairy weft.

In my excitement to wrap the gifts I forgot to take pictures but I am hoping someone got a picture of her modelling it around. When I showed her different ways to wrap and tie it she immediately undid it and tried to repeat it. That I will do it myself gene certainly can pass through generations.
