Chenille Scarf - Shadow Weave

 This scarf has been finished for several months, I just haven't gotten around to taking a picture.  I know, cause I started it in Montana before we headed back to NC in early October.  And it's getting to be scarf weather in both Montana and NC.  Actually the drive to the airport last week was a little white knuckle since we were the first car on the road to Billings that morning.

The yarn was frogged from a thrift store chenille sweater, which had these two shades of blue, as well as purple.  The sweater came apart in yarn that was a two ply, which I separated into single ply for this scarf.  Fifty cents for the yarn, but the time that went into frogging the yarn and weaving means it would be a very expensive scarf if I priced it based on hourly labor costs.

This scarf was also one that I used the weaving software to design - Weave Design.  This is a free software program from the Pikes Peak Weavers Guild.  They encourage donations to the guild in return for use of the software.  Can't beat the price and donations go to a Colorado weaving community
