Late? Or Early.

I don't know why, but I do most of my scarf weaving in the summertime. I'm either really late... or really early for winter! So far, I like the way this one is turning out, even though the yarn is so fragile.  I'm hoping it lasts until the end of this warp. And this little man has a new handmade train shirt!  The yellow one from last time was fitting so tightly that I decided to make a few new ones in the next size up.  David looks like a little professor! Or a country singer... 

Twenty dash two

Sometimes I think I'm nuts.   (Or maybe I was nuts sometime in the past.) I had bought this 20/2 wool a few years ago thinking it was a great idea because 1.) it was nice and thin, 2.) there was a lot of it, and 3.) it was super cheap. I pulled it out this week to make a scarf and I think to myself, "What was I thinking?" This stuff is super thin! I have 3 strands per dent on the reed, and it tangles real easily and breaks even easier. I'm excited to make a super thin scarf, but... ...there are certainly drawbacks to the 20/2 wool! And I have so many cones of the white... Ugh! Here is little dude in his suspenders and bow-tie!  He was wearing his awesome handwoven pants at the same time and I don't know why I didn't get those, too!  Oops!  Oh well... maybe next time...
