Weaving of Questionable Taste...

I finally got around to purchasing a rigid heddle loom. This is my 2nd project, a sampler scarf, made mostly with hand dyed commercial wools. As you can see, I didn't realise quite how sickeningly bright the colours would look together, but Miss Brittany loves it so it's all hers. My edges aren't too bad, if I do say so myself!
It actually looks quite decent with the part that goes round the neck folded over like a shawl collar.

I haven't quite finished my first project which suffers greatly from "beginner's edge". The wibbly edge problem was then compounded when I washed it because I used 2 breeds of wool and one shrank while the other didn't. The yarn that shrank was spun a long time ago and I suspect I didn't wash it after plying. Once I turned the edges over to sew a straight hem it looked ok so I'll post a photo if it looks nice once I've actually sewn it.
