Well, I’ve gone and woven me a scarf.\u00a0 The world’s longest scarf.\u00a0 Seriously.\u00a0 With every weaving project, there is extra length\/width built in to account for “drawing in” and shrinkage and some allowance for practicing the weave, but when I took the scarf off the loom and put it around my neck, it dragged on the floor on both sides by a foot or more.\u00a0 Hey, when I weave, I weave.<\/em><\/p>\n

I knew last week that I had only a yard or so left to weave and it went quickly today and then it was time to weave a few lines of junk and cut the scarf off the loom.\u00a0 As the teacher has emphasized throughout, it’s always scary when scissors are near your project.\u00a0 I had cut about 3\/4 of the scarf off the loom when the teacher exclaimed, “oh no!”\u00a0 I about had a heart attack until I realized that comment was directed at someone else.\u00a0 I can laugh about it now.<\/p>\n

Then, on to unwinding the scarf from the apron.\u00a0 And unwinding.\u00a0 And unwinding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of my classmates wrapped me up, so I headed into the restroom for a quick self-portrait.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The final few steps are choosing\/applying a fringe technique and washing, and then *poof* – it’s a scarf!<\/p>\n

The weaving blogging isn’t done, however.\u00a0 Before I left today, I wrapped a warp for my next project, a rag rug for in front of the kitchen door.\u00a0 Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
