I got some input from Eleanor since she has been wearing her scarf for more then a month now. She suggested that I make it wider. This one is about 14 1/2 inches wide. I put a lettuce edge on it. People think it is hard to do, but really it couldn’t be easier. I do a zigzag stitch around the edge- that is it. The zigzag stitch stretches the knit just enough to give it a ripple effect. What would really be hard would be to put a zigzag edging on a stretchy fabric and not have the waves.

I so love the scarves! They are beautiful and I can just imagine how they must feel. I am just now completing a quilt made from felted sweaters. I have learned a lot making it: the various sweaters felt very differently and the thicknesses vary considerably - as does the stretchiness of the weaves. I am afraid that I should have taken more care not to strech it as I was making it. I has some very interesting curves in it! Looking forward to seeing more of what you make. I was surprised to see these projects as I thought you were exclusively dolls! It is fun to see your range og talents! You really get busy don’t you! I so love the scarves!

Why don't they still make it??? I've been doing a lot of sewing with felted sweaters the past few days, using Betz White's Warm Fuzzies book as a guide. Oh so satisfying to turn a $3.00 thrift store sweater into two tea cozies and three pairs of mittens! I’ve got a swell collection of that bakeware from estate sales. Why don’t they still make it???

The cashmere that I've felted hasn't felted nearly as well as wool and lambswool; glad to know it's not just me. Your scarves are gorgeous and I’m loving your muffin pan too!
