Two newly woven scarves and St. Patty’s Day Greyhounds!

Yesterday my friend Penny and I went to downtown Greenville to walk our dogs. Downtown Greenville is a beautiful city with park which includes many walking paths etc.
The weather was sooo grand (sunny and mild temps) that there were oodles of people (and dogs) all over the place. Libby (my dog) and Vader (Penny’s dog) certainly got in some good doggy sniffs!!

OH, speaking of the many dogs that were there, I met up with these two guys right off the bat. Guess they are really ready to celebrate the upcoming holiday!!
They were really cute but I think I may have temporarily offended their owner. He was asking them to move outta my way (so I could park) and they really weren’t responding to his request since he was also talking to me at the same time. At one point I said, “They really aren’t minding…” and before I could finish my sentence he said, “Yeah, they are minding pretty well.” (I wonder if he had been told this before???? ) Anyhooo, if I could have finished my sentence before he got offended I would have said that they aren’t minding wearing the little HATS!! :) I did explain what I meant to him and then all was well… it was just a strained moment!

OK, one of the scarves that I wove this weekend was a bamboo and fun fur scarf — trying for something springy. I think I should have left more open slots so that the final product would have been more airy. Still, I think it’s purty!

Rigid Heddle Woven Scarf

The second one is woven out of 3/2 pearle cotton for both warp and weft. I do like the way this turned out. It softened a bit with hand washing and machine damp/dry drying. As you can see the scarf is mainly done in the Leno lace pattern.
