Progress on "Sashiko Scarf"

I'm making progress on my sashiko scarf, which I started here.



Using random meandering stitches is a lot of fun!  I can literally just make it up as I go.  I usually pay attention to the dye patterns on the silk, making circles around them.




The tiny red threads are for basting purposes only, and will be removed when I'm finished.







Here's what it looks like on the back.  I think I like it!

Beautiful Silk

I found this great piece of silk at Britex Fabrics the other day. And it was Half Price! Yippee!!

I even got a few extra inches (for free!) because it was at the end of the bolt. Some days the stars all align, and the fabric world falls into place.




I have something in mind for it. Something nice and drape-y. I'll keep you posted.
