Scarf number two of the pair...
...with irregular holes snipped through its pre-felt surface.
As before, the scarf length...
...necessitated a bit of rolling and unrolling during felting..
...even on my long studio table!
The project, wetted-out...
...and mid-way through felting.
The finished scarf pair...
...one, demurely ruffled...
...one, demurely ruffled...
...and the other, naughtily pierced! Grin.
Because I prepared quite thin pre-felts for this project...
...the resulting scarves are very soft and supple...
...(nothing like this stiff-as-a-board iteration from my early days as a feltmaker!) :)
I hope that the wearers don't find them too long for true utility...
...and merely wrap them multiple times around the neck for warmth!
As I write this blog post, I find myself giggling a bit...
...since I just now realized that I gave the wild, pierced scarf to the more demure friend...
...and the more modest, ruffled one to the considerably more exuberant friend!

Heather, I also laugh when I pick up some of my earlier felted pieces, most of which are marked by under-felting and clumsy design. Your work is simply delightful!!
Maybe your quiet friend will have a wild moment or two...
Kathy--Thank-you! It's good to look back sometimes, I think.
Rachel--Hahaha...maybe so! :)
Now we know why they say "practice makes perfect."
Isn't it wonderful to be able to look back and see how far you've come in such a short time?
I know what you mean about these scarves being soft and supple, since I have a similar one, and I can attest to that fact. :)
Sandy-I'm glad!
