~sigh~ This weaving thing is harder than I realized. I started off intent on making a scarf...how hard could that be, right? Well, right from the start I pooched it. See, I don't know if you can tell from the picture above, but the solid colored length is how it should look. Straight and full. The multi-colored section has a decided hourglass look. Wide at the ends and thin in the middle.
So, goodbye scarf!
All is not lost though...all practice is good practice and my scarf has turned into a pillow. One more solid for the opposite side of the pattern and I'll sew them together, add a back and stuff that baby. Will it work? I can only hope...

Song of the Day: Mean by Taylor Swift. Not sure why this song has hit my radar today, Darling Diva hasn't been playing it, but it has a catchy tune and I like the sentiment. Heck, its not the first time I've listen to the kidlet's music when she's not here...I'm guess it won't be the last. ;)
