Dear Mom,
I took that stubby woven scarf disaster and turned it into a lovely cowl!
I could almost pretend I planned it this way, it turned out so nice.
Using a length of the warp thread, I hand stitched the ends together into a flat felled seam. (Thank you Mrs. Roos and high school tailoring class!) Actually, the first thing I did was add a twist to the scarf so that it would become a moebius ring when the ends were stitched together.
The nice thing about adding that twist is that the scarf/cowl will hang flat when worn under a coat.
And the cowl had just enough length to allow me to wear it doubled around my neck, too.
I now have plans for those single skeins of hand spun, hand dyed yarns I've been producing!
Love,
Kim
