Satin Scarf
March 4th, 2007 by Matt
I have been working on a satin scarf for a while and I thought I would post about it.
I learned a few things from my sample and the scarf
- Use Floating Selvages
- Look at the other side when weaving (You cant see mistakes on your side)
- Ripping back is not that bad
- If you miss a mistake it is possible to fix it if your scarf is not to tight
After weaving for a while I fond a mistake 3/4 of the way back and thought AHHHH!! I don’t want to have to rip back 3/4 of my project. So I decided that I could fake it after with hand weaving in a piece of yarn. Then as I was weaving it occurred to me I should fix it now that way if it did not work I could still rip back. After 3 attempts I figured out I could replace the strand I had missed and now my scarf looks GREAT. You can’t see where the mistake was.
Here are the pictures of it in progress
