Early Morning Clarity

 This morning in one of those brief moments of super clarity the thought occurred to me.

Why not weave in the ends of the scarf before I took the scarf off the loom? While the scarf was still under tension.  

So I gave it a try using the technique my friends grandmother taught her. You know, the one I thought of on my own. The one that goes against how they teach weaving in the ends in Tucson.  

Well to make a long story short. It worked. It was easier. I am sharing pictures of both ends woven in.  On my next scarf I will show off the technique.  In the meantime just marvel at how clean the woven in threads look.  I will trim the ends after the hot bath.  

By the way I also wound the yarn on the shuttle from the inside of the skein so that the colors would look very similar to the way I spun the yarn.  Otherwise you would have seen a stark green line next to the purple.  I am breaking rules right and left this morning.
