>> Who can I order the pattern from or where can I go to look at it? I'm
>> curious about it. What weight yarn do you like to use for these scarves?
>> I've been seeing a lot of stretchy gauzy frilly scarves and shawls in
>> shops
>> lately. Some are made of viscose and one was a cotton rayon mix, very
>> nice.
>> In my hands, they would be snagged in no time at all.
>> Today I looked at a hand twined woven rug made with strips of an old
>> Chaneile bedspread and some other fiber. It was tight and about to be cut
>> off the frame. Then I looked at something on a loom that was made with a
>> soft Chaneile thread or yarn and wow what a lot of work but very very
>> soft.
>> If I were a hermit, making these things round the clock would be a great
>> occupation for me! My neighbor is 76, and once the weather warms up, all
>> that time will go into gardening, not weaving and knitting.
>> About a year ago when I first saw some of this neighbor's rugs, I
>> was astounded by the quality of the work, I asked her if they were just
>> piling up, and indeed they are. She doesn't sell much and doesn't use a
>> computer to display or advertise them. A friend did put up a facebook 
>> page
>> for her with some pictures but she never does anything with it. I gently
>> suggested she put me in her will, and she said "ok." I wonder if she
>> remembers. Think I should remind her? Actually for all I know, she will
>> long
>> out live me! As it stands now, she is very excited I am carrying through
>> with all this. I go up in the mornings and have her inspect my work.
>> I hand it to you all who are enthralled with these kinds of
>> endeavors.
>> In case anyone is interested, Web's has a great radio show that airs
>> on WHMP FM at 7 AM Sunday mornings. They have guest persons they
>> interview,
>> usually people who write pattern books or distribute yarns. The owners, a
>> husband wife team, do the show. You can listen to podcasts of the show if
>> you go to their web site and look for them. Long before I even thought
>> about
>> knitting, I loved listening to the show.

>> It is an 18 row pattern - very beautiful and very textured.
>> I started making scarves with it around October as part of a Knit-a-Long

>> edge is dynamic and it undulates...oh, I love it!
