Scarf Update

Now that I've survived a very long week involving much educating of undergraduates, I can show off the latest version of the Ravenclaw scarf! It's long enough to be almost a real scarf, so I can model it instead of just photographing it on the table. I'm not sure if I want to do another repeat of the trapped bars or not; it's a nice length for a short scarf now, but maybe I want it a tiny bit longer? We'll see whether my patience with it lasts long enough to do the extra repeat over the weekend. And the fringe, I still have to do the fringe. We're going to a midnight showing on Thursday night, so it has to be done by then.

I apologize for showing a bit of my midsection in this picture. Clearly I've been spending too much time with the frosh.

Ta da! It's looking great. Don't tell my Eldest (Gryffindor), but I'm liking the Ravenclaw colors much better.

As for length, I think that with these scarves longer = better. You still have six days .... you can do it!

Very nice! I'd go for one more set of bars. I bet you'll be glad you did later -- it'll make it plenty long to wrap around your neck another time that way.

though I didn't use it much; I just kind of made it up as I went along.
