All of these scarves were done on the same warp. I just changed wefts for each one.

Still ‘Finishing’
Still making like a slug and very slow moving but I am managing to just stay on top of what needs to be done. :} Today I had lunch with a weaving buddy. So nice to get out and about and catch up with someone I see only occasionally. Then errands – mail a parcel,…
