Moral

I am feeling sad today...I am missing my favorite handwoven hand-dyed scarf.  See left.  I lost it last weekend in Talent Oregon when I went out to dinner to celebrate my Dad's and Sister's birthdays.  I had it wrapped around my neck in perfect fashion.  It showed up just right in the photographs of the birthday bash.  When I went to get dressed the next morning my scarf was missing.  We went back to the restaurant...not there.  Striped the bed, tore the house apart...not there.  Emptied the suitcase once again...not there.  Checked the car...how could it be there...not there.  I put an ad on craigslist...no response.  I guess I will have to forget about it...it is gone forever.  I really will not be able to make another one...it was a hand-dyed warp.  On the positive...I could make one I like even better! 

Moral of the story:  Double tie your scarf as Jennifer Moore will show you in this you tube.  

The funny thing is I was just boosting I never have lost a scarf when Barbara Setsu Pickett gave a presentation at the Contemporary Fiber Arts Guild last week and she commented that the way to tie a scarf doubled will keep you from loosing one of your new scarves.  She and her son have a line of shibori scarves out called Mihara.  They are BEAUTIFUL!
