Alpaca/Silk Scarves

The scarves mentioned in the last post have now been properly finished. One has huck lace diamonds in an allover pattern (top and left) and the other has a design with small flowers on a very open lace background (right). It's the first time I have used this draft and I'm not too keen on it.
Following this exercise I warped up for two more scarves, this time in the red alpaca/silk. Instead of an allover pattern I made them each with three narrow panels of lace, just one repeat of the draft, on a plain ground. One scarf has the same diamond pattern and the other has a design I worked out myself. Time will tell how it turns out.
