Scarf XXL

Since a month ago at last I finished my scarf XXL of Latvian wool. I had begun in the summer, but I left it unfinished. And that was not for heat, but because the scarf already occupied so much room I could not put it in my needlework bag.

I made the scarf as Strawberries in snow, but without beads, of other material and larger. I still think it would make a pattern, but as you see I have not done yet.

As the yarn I used was fairly rough, I washed the scarf with shampoo and rinse with hair softener. It's an old trick but that works. Now it not itch so much, why I use it as a scarf.

My first spin

My first spin

Today I had a very inspiring experience: I've spin! Long ago that I wanted to learn it, learn this ancient and simply art to twist fibers that undoubtedly practiced and enjoyed many of my ancestors.

This desire is rare in our industrial world and at the same time usual and somewhat surprisingly late in the craft community. It has emerged thanks to the portal Ravelry and my desire for new challenges.

I also take this opportunity once again to say thanks to my teacher Lala and her textile study Indigo where you can find beautiful and unexpected things.
