Adding circles of brightly colored wool.
A lengthwise white strip tops it all off.
Partially felted scarf...checking to make sure that the holes stay open.
Yet another middle-aged birthday is heading my way this coming Saturday...
...and today I'm planning my second annual birthday giveaway!
This year, I have two (very different) scarves to give away...
...and today, I'll show you scarf number one.
I had the idea of making a Dawn-style scarf...
...but letting it be a little more undulating...less rectangular.
I laid out figure eights, crosses and squiggles of white roving...
...then added circles of orangey-red roving on top.
I anchored the whole shebang with a length of white roving...
...and began felting.
Next time I'll show you the gorgeous orange dye pot and the finished scarf...
...and I'll tell you how and when to enter the drawing for one of my two scarves!

I cant wait to see the finished scarf Heather - great idea to lay it out like you have!

Hahaha...thanks, Deborah!
Squeal! It is looking sassy.
I am loving that style so far. Dawn sure has inspired you...now I need to get with her sometime so I can have fiber inspiring play time.
Looking forward to the finished post.
Andrea- Do find the time to spend some time with Dawn. She is SO much fun (and such a talented felter, to boot!)

Mien--I'm SO glad that my comment lightened your day! Your blog is quite remarkable! I think that your sensibility is very chic. I see mine as a bit of a 'work horse', process blog, but I'm very happy that you like my pieces as well!! XXO-
