Saying Goodbye to Summer

In my neck of the woods we have just traded the oppressive heat for cool and gentle gusts, the gruesome sun for foggy colossi slumbering in the hills and valleys, and my overheated lethargic corpse for an invigorated spirit, ready to create and explore.

Though summer is not all bad (I guess), and I thought I would pay tribute to it with a woven scarf that's a little more spring-coloured, but still honouring the parting season.  

One by one the yarn lined up to the loom and I set the warp.  

I thought of the beautiful flowers, the smell of freshly mowed grass, vast blue skies, and gentle starlit nights.  

Trying to complete repress the thought of being so tediously warm for days on end.

This scarf uses three solid-coloured yarns and one variegated.  Despite the picture's unwillingness to cooperate, the variegation showed up quite nicely on all three of the solids, though the variegated on variegated sections were certainly the pieces that stole the show.  

However, with that being said, it was nice to have the solid colours.  They lent themselves to a nice and consistent shaping to the scarf and took up more room so that I would feel encouraged- there's few things I love like progress!

And despite my moaning and groaning, I do like summer (a little) and it's nice to remember it for all the wonderful thing it harbours.  However, I am certainly ready for autumn.  

I look forward to sharing many autumn projects with you all, and hope you all had a lovely summer! 

Stay sweet, stay crafty, and stay tuned.
