Weaving: first scarf

Wow, it's been a while from my last update here...
It's all my camera's fault! It doesn't want to upload photos to my PC but I keep struggling. And today I've got something!

About a month ago I bought a simplest loom - Beka rigid heddle loom 20". It came to me really fast and I began to learn weaving. Actually there is nothing to learn in weaving on rigid heddle loom. It is absolutely easy to do.
I made a few woven scarves for now but only one is good enough to show you :)

Here it is:

Fabric is very thin and it's drape perfectly.
The colour match maybe is not so great but I don't have a lot of yarn stashed, so I had to work with what I have.
The scarf measures 14" wide and 65" long with 4.5" fringe at the both ends.

And you can find this scarf in my Etsy shop.

Now I've got a loooot of ideas. Almost all of them are scarves. But also I want to make some nice placemats.

Hope to post something tasty here very-very soon!

Take care,
Kate
