'Noonian Soong! - my 1st designer scarf'

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes


Howdy and welcome,


For some reason, during the past few weeks, I've had a burning desire to create scarves and shawls.

I really, really wanted to construct and wear my original 'LuLu Too Beaucoup' scarf to Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was all I could think about while working on my textile commission. I've already started an eleaborate woven scarf - which is still in the works, and would not be ready for Thanksgiving. That woven scarf was taking too long so here's what I created late Wednesday night/early Thursday moring. 

Techniques I used were English braiding, crochet and macrame. This skinny scarf  was nice and toasty!


'Noonian Soong' -
handmade scarf, braid, crochet, macrame.
Materials: yarns ( acrylic, novelty, wool)


This scarf is more of an experiment than a finished product, because the patterns are more dramatic than I wanted. Something a bit more suble and monochromatic will be created in the next iteration.

What do you think of this skinny scarf? Do you ever wear fashion scarves? How do you store your ribbon stash.

Thnaks for stopping by. Please visit my Blogoversary for some FREEBIES. Don't forget to vote in the right-sidebar.

Peace,
LuLu
