Scarf #3 in Progress

After considerable thought, and a brief discussion with Deb via the comments on a previous post (which you can see here), I decided to go with the "increasing dots-n-dashes" method. I began the scarf with blocks of alternating layers of satin: 40 picks of blue on top, 40 picks of green on top, etc. After weaving this for 4 repeats, I changed the treadling to 60 picks of blue on top and 60 picks of green on top, for 4 repeats. Then 80 of each, 4 times. Then 120 of each, 4 times. And so on...



At the point I took the photo above, I had woven the 40-pick blocks and had just begun the 60-pick blocks.



By the time I reached the middle of the scarf, the blocks had grown to 300 picks each. By the time I reach the end of the scarf, they'll be *really* long. We'll all have to wait to find out just how long they are, because tomorrow is a Designing Weavers meeting in LA, so I won't be back at the loom until Thursday at the earliest.

In any case, I don't want to finish too quickly - we have friends coming over on Saturday who have requested a studio tour, so I need to have something to demonstrate on both looms.
