More Scarves

I have completed, cut off and finished two scarves and am part way through a third one. This is a great way of getting rid of the stash and I am thinking of tying on a new warp as soon as the third one is finished.

The meeting in Birmingham was notable for being in the most weirdly decorated bar I have ever met. The alcove the meeting was held in was decorated in Ancient Egyptian style. Most of it was Victorian Gothick with puplits, tombs et cetera. I have never seen a Ladies Loo with stone gargoyles in it before! I can find no history on the web but I am guessing 1880s. It really is worth seeing and, next time we meet, I will take some photos.

 This is a photo of the runner I brought back from Zambia. A mixture of traditional and modern motifs. The colours shown are pretty accurate. All the resist work is drawn by hand.
