Guest Scarves on Scarf A Day

Printer-friendly version

Wow, is this really the first non-Syne forum post?  How cool is that?!  I'll leap right in to these spiffy new forums that she's set up for us and get the ball rolling with an invite to come check out my Scarf A Day blog, where I've been blogging a new scarf every week day since the start of February.

More importantly, though, I want to put the word out that, starting this week, Fridays on Scarf A Day are Guest Scarfa Days! I'd love to hear from anyone who's got a scarf project on the go and would like to participate.  What I'm looking for are pictures of your project and a write up of ... well, whatever you'd like to say about your scarf.  :)  Might be your inspiration for weaving it, something about the person you're weaving it for, a description of the weaving process, whatever. I'll take your pics and your write up and post it on the blog on an upcoming Friday. 

Guest scarfas don't need to be anything fancy!  Almost all of the scarves I've posted so far are big chunky threads and nearly plain weave, so please don't think that I'm only interested in fancy schmancy stuff.  Heck, they don't even have to be successful - sometimes it's awfully reassuring to see that someone else's project has gone terribly awry and to learn from their trials and tribulations without having to experience them first hand. (remember WeaveCast #0? Yeah, so do I!)

I'd particularly love to post scarves woven by brand new weavers, or weavers creating their very first scarves, with all the lumps and bumps and wobbly selvedges those almost always entail.  Not that I've got anything against fancy schmancy, you understand - I'm in awe of folks who work in fine threads and complicated structures and would love to post some of those as well. :)

This week I'm hoping to have pictures of a couple of scarves that are a collaborative effort of a pair of weavers in the Seattle area.  Next week I'll have boas woven in the San Juans. 

Please, please, please, if you're weaving a scarf or thinking about weaving a scarf, consider taking some pics of the process and sharing your project with me and the readers of Scarf A Day!
