scarf for Julian

The night before leaving for Minnesota, it became clear that he didn’t have a scarf. I made him a scrappy one out of woven cashmere from my mom’s scraps.

Here, I am playing around on the floor with design and color possibilities-

I nixed that brown check and added red.

Here it is, laid out on the front porch, finished (yes, we had a little snow last night)-

It is 7 3/4 inches wide and 6 feet 8 inches long.

I’d like to make a blanket like this some day- wouldn’t that be fantastic, a cashmere blanket?!

    I bet Julian will wear that scarf with pride.
    We too had a bit of snow, the first this winter.

    I love this scarf - the colors are beautiful. The new banner is wonderful, too!

    This is just beautiful. I’m finding myself coveting a scarf.
