Those of you who read this blog often will know that, lately, I’ve been completely obsessed with my loom (I do have projects on the the needles, and I poured some resin yesterday, but really, it’s been all about the weaving) and, every chance I get, I try to do something new. I picked up…

The goal with this scarf was simple, to design the most ‘Shireen-y’ scarf possible. I definitely succeeded, this one is absolutely my favourite. Just look at those colours together, aren’t they gorgeous?
