Little Boy Blue
March 21st, 2009While the first scarf off this warp was definitely a "Pretty In Pink" sort, the next one made was the complete opposite - all boy. I present to you, "Little Boy Blue"

This was the second Summer & Winter scarf on my sampler warp for learning the weave structure. The new owner of the scarf seems as happy with his as the owner of the pink one was with hers.
The ABC/123 and the car were done by pick-up. The graphs were ones I drew, and I thought the results weren't too bad overall, especially since this was only my second attempt both at graphing and weaving a pick-up design. Here's a closer look at them ~


So what do you think - does it look like a car?? LOL That was the graph that gave me the most fits.
And concerning the on-opposites, yellow and blue bands in the scarf...
Yes, I have already been asked why I wove the Swedish flag into the scarf. It didn't even occur to me at the time that I was doing that, but, there it was!
If I had a quick enough wit I could have pretended it was on purpose and answered the teasing inquiry at my guild meeting with something like "It's to honor my Swedish great-grandmother of course!" or "Because the Swedish Chef is my very favorite Muppet." But then, if I was that quick on my feet I probably would have been observant enough to already have noticed the "flags" I'd woven without someone else having to point them out to me, eh?
Maybe I should call the scarf "Bork Bork Bork!" instead ;-)
For those of you that like all the nitty-gritty details of setts and yarn weights and the like, do not despair! A post shall follow sometime in the hopefully-not-too-distant future with all that sort of minutiae about both of the Summer & Winter scarves. But I just had to come show of the scarf asap!! :-) Bork bork bork!
