The Red Circles Scarf is finally off the loom. I could have finished it months ago, but I wanted to have a new warp ready to go -- otherwise, I forget how things are supposed to be strung, and -- let's face it -- an un-warped loom is a sad loom!
Due to the timing and the era this scarf lived through, I almost feel like I should call it the Corona Scarf, or the Pandemic Scarf. But the circles lack the spikes Covid has ... Nah-- I don't think I want to give Corona any more power than it already has over us. Let's make this scarf the protective antidote -- a strong immune system.
"I made this!"
I am so pleased with the way this came out! The most complicated pattern I've ever tried. And all on a 4-shaft loom! I definitely want to try more of these shadow weaves, perhaps in other colors? The black makes the colors pop -- maybe green or blue or purple? So many possibilities!
The pattern and kit came from Yarn Barn of Kansas.
I don't see it on their website anymore, so I don't think it's available any longer.

A real beauty - very impressive! It is definitely not covid, but an antidote to it. :-) I love that bit about a sad loom. Not unlike an empty quilt frame or hoop.
