silk scarf/shawl continued

Every time I look at that photo I cringe. It absolutely does not do justice to the finished project which is silky and drapey with a very linear pattern which appealed to me. Unfortunately I turned in the scarf on saturday to be included in out guild booth in Helena in June. So it will be awhile until I get it back to take a proper photograph. I get quite nervous when presenting my projects to the guild as they have so many years of experience and I often find myself doing something a little unconventional only because I didn't know any better. I had some trouble with the edge threads breaking on this project which is I assume because I shouldn't have used the single ply silk yarn as the warp. I was able to salvage the project with an improvised temple consisting of a couple of +paper clips, some leftover 5/2 pearl cotton, and some plastic containers filled with rocks.

One last note....I used pascal's triangle to design the stripe pattern within the summer and winter structure. I love that!
