Complete Set (sort of)

I have finally completed a set of outerwear. Well, sort of. I did finish mitts in my favorite color, Jungle Boogie.





And they do match my previously completed Jungle Boogie Beret and Jungle Boogie Scarf. But...the hat just doesn't fit right. It's beautiful, but too small to really wear (I think I was struck down by my tight knitting). So I think I'm going to rip out the hat and reknit it bigger. At some point. Maybe.

Pooling Woven Scarf

Seeing as my friend Gladys is a pioneer of planned pooling projects, and Wollmeise kept sending me skeins of Grapes for Sheri in my grab bags, I simply had to make a Grapes for Sheri pooling scarf. It was so much fun to make, and it came out beautifully.

I warped the yarn to pool.



And I used MadelineTosh Merino Lace for weft in Duchess, a really dark, almost black purple.

The pooling came out beautifully.




Next time I may not choose to use such thin laceweight for the weft. It did create a warp-faced fabric, but it's so delicate that my scarf is already a bit damaged, from pretty gentle wear.
