serindranaScarf post!
Well, they didn't come out quite as planned. The cherry blossom one is the right color, but the pattern is wrong because the draft in my book was wrong.
I also beat a little hard, which means the scarf is slightly stiff and the diamonds are a bit squished. Sarah loves it, though, so it's all good.
The plum blossom has the corrected pattern, but the yarn I got had WAY more blue in the colorway than I expected, and doesn't read as purple at all. So that's a bit of a failure. (Also, I didn't edge one end with ribbon while weaving, which means the finishing on that hem is messed up. :< )
The drape, though, is amazing. :) I'm keeping this one, even though it's so bright IRL that I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to wear it.
And here's a shot of them side by side:
I started my first Farsiris-inspired scarf today. Clasped weft, like this but not as dramatic. It's tricky! :< And it's my first time working without a floating selvedge, too, so my edges are going to be wonky. The yarns I'm using make it look almost velvety, though, and it's starting to go a bit more easily. It's going to take forever to weave, though.
