Houndstooth Scarf
This may be the fastest item I’ve ever woven. It’s a scarf on the Glimakra Emilia using pink and white cotton. The warping and weaving took a total of two and a half hours! I’ll post the “finished” picture tomorrow.

I just started knitting this Lacey pattern scarf from the Authentic Knitting Board website using some leftover silk/alpaca yarn. I’m hoping for something lightweight for summer.
I took a few weeks off, but now I'm back at it, finishing the scarf. However, I'm still unhappy with the selvedges. So, I think I figured out why… the pattern is still wonky on the right side as it encompasses the center area of the diamond, where the dark ends or the spiral begins, causing the darks to jump out too much. Also, this yarn is too thick to comfortably loop black over white. The entire thing needs more balance. So, instead of a husband scarf, this may end being a bag for a flute. That way, it will be stitched up the sides.
It's better this time around. I rethreaded the edges to continue with the pattern. I also got rid of the floating selvedge. The bottom half is woven with the black thread always over the gray. The second set is with the black thread under, but only on the right side. I think it looks the best with it over. Lucky thing, I only have to "unweave" one pattern set. Always learning something new…
