I began the second scarf this morning; weaving with the temple in place this time. So far it is all going very smoothly. The draw in is approximately half and inch, but with the temple the reed is hitting the fell line with all the warp threads parallel thus no stretching, a nice even selvedge, and no broken threads.

So far I am about 1/2 way though the second scarf - having had the day off (Columbus Day). I also took some time to darn in all the ends (from broken warp threads) on scarf number one.

To use all the alpaca two-ply, the number 3 scarf may have some stripes - I'll have to work on some colour schemes.
