Scarf Warp Update

Just a quick update today: this is scarf number 3 and the weft is a silk cashmere blend from Treenway. Its a bit more beige that this photo shows. The feel of the scarf is lovely as you can imagine. I think for number 4 I will use a steel grey silk yak blend I found in the bottom of my silk storage box over another tencel weft. These scarves are taking a lot more time to weave due to their complexity so might as well 'go big or go home'!

The pattern is really neat and the opposite side is simply a mirror reverse of the front. Its actually very easy to spot a mistake due to the clear pattern definition.
On the personal front: we have just undergone 3 full days of no water in the house and I can't tell you how luxurious a shower was yesterday. The pump for the well died and it chose freezing weather and a snow storm in which to do it. So $2,000.00 later.....I got a pump for Christmas!
Bet that beats what ever you'll get in the 'weird department' :)
Try something today: consciously think every time you turn on a tap, flush, or even wipe a counter. Yup, we reply on indoor plumbing a great deal and it contributes tremendously to our quality of life.
So does our weaving....
