Woven Scarf No.3

I thought that I had mastered the set-up on my Knitter's Loom, but I found myself having to refer to the instructions around three or four times. Oddly enough, some steps felt as though I was doing them for the first time! Was I doing my usual skimming the first two times? For this scarf I am using a wonderful buttery yellow wool from Uruguay, and a handspun multi colour skein that I bought off ebay (which I must add, the colours were not even close to what the image looked like on the posting). However I am happy that I am finally able to use it for something, and I had exactly 1 foot left over once I threaded the loom....phewwwwwww!

The first two woven scarves!

My new toy!

Thanks to AM and all his gift certificates for my favourite wool shop, I was able to purchase this Ashford Knitter's Loom. The instructions are easy to follow, especially for a beginner like myself. Once I set it up, I completed my first scarf with in a couple hours (probably quicker had I not used this thick'n thin yarn).

Could there be a better combination for me? Yarn, fabric, knitting and window displays...maybe that is four things. Clegs on Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, Australia
