It is finished!

So I finished the 'scrap scarf' today! I like the way it looks, I still need to wash it though. I took a bunch of pictures!




This is the part that reminded me of quilt squares- the darker purple is 9 square with a little extra ;)


And the fringe! Bonnie helped me out with taking it off the loom. Now that I'm done with this I am WAY behind on the first project so I'm going to try to go in tomorrow afternoon and get the next project started. Hopefully that will get me pretty close to the rest of the class.

I'm am oddly surprised by how sore weaving makes me! My lower back is a little sore now so it will be hell tomorrow and it makes my legs a little sore - my teachers warned me and I didn't believe them, but they were right!

Oops!

I totally forgot my camera yesterday -.-" and of course yesterday was the day I actually DID something in my weaving class. But luckily for you I have a pretty good camera on my new and nifty phone so you get weird pictures now and I'll take some better ones on Monday.

I did all of this weaving yesterday, which I'm sure is minuscule compared to established weavers, but I felt very productive :) I used the same gray yarn as in the warp (the up and down bit) and I used a wool purple yarn, which is first. I think it looks really nice and it will make a nice little scarf for either my boyfriend or my Aunt. I'll take some better pictures next time to show you how my loom works kind of and all the weird stuff that goes on :)
I'm not sure if you can tell, but the dark purple streak on wither side of the big white streak looks kind of like a nine square quilt pattern to me. Once again I'll take a better picture on Monday.
