Faith King is a good sport, a team player, and a good friend. Faith's second project was a scarf. The black warp was already beamed on the loom and the heddles/reed were threaded when she arrived at my parent's house. I gave her a box with colorful cotton yarn and had her weave 40 inches. She used a variety of techniques including floating threads, alternating two colors, multiple threads in the same pick, and looping threads. She decided she wanted to keep the horizontal stripe appearance. Not bad for her second project. My part of the project was to loop the scarf and weave in the warp threads from the beginning of the project. We discussed the loop/wrap and thought we had a möbius. Faith went home and I finished weaving in the warp threads. After I took it off the loom, I discovered that despite the manipulation Faith's scarf was a loop and not a möbius. It turned out lovely and she's already worn it. She's received many compliments.
It didn't turn out as originally planned, but it is beautiful.
