My little Norwood loom has a fresh 15 yard warp on now, in 16/2 Swedish cotton, with a subtle green pinstripe. A small stack of spring/summer scarves in cotton and linen is growing.
My designs are asymmetrical stripes and block inlays, that will frame the face in a different set of colors and stripes each time the wearer wraps it on. The differences will be subtle, but difference is interesting. In my book, difference is good.

This is one truly beautiful scarf!
Really beautiful scarves, Susan, wish I could see them in person!
Hi Susan, I like your scarf very much, and in particular your use of block inlay. The overall effect is stunning. (I'm hoping you might post a tutorial on this technique, in the future).
You just keep making more beautiful things! These colors are stunning, and I'm not even usually a "lots of color" person. I love the bark over the path, too :)
Weaveblah, A tutorial? from me? The blind leading the sighted, comes to mind. But thank you for asking, and if I get a clear vision of it myself, I'll give it a try.
It's very fun, and simple.
Brittany, not a color person! Who are you kidding?
(The bark path was a necessity that was surprisingly pleasant to look at, saved my shoes, and seems to be going away gradually, all by itself. My kind of project!)
I suppose my rug is colorful, but I usually lean toward neutrals with pops of one or two colors. I love color, but don't often use many of them in the piece. I think I don't quite feel comfortable with it yet... I'll get there!
Utterly divine scarves restrained but zingy. Love the lineny mattness. I am planning a project to make a rag rug similar to the ones I saw in North Sweden made by old-timer. The colour range of that was just perfect too. Just to explain how I got here on the web.
