I tried to upload another version of this pink ribbon, one designed for a table loom. There was a problem with the website, handweaving.net, and I wrote to the author there but have not heard back. Then I tried to upload the wif file under Drafts here, but could not see it. So I saved an image of the liftplan draft and you can find that under Drafts here, now, if you click on this one. It does not look like there is a draft there until you look for the jpeg.

I am glad that she was able to weave a scarf with this design.The weaver told me that she had not woven summer and winter before. It is one of my favorites so I encouraged her to try this. I like the way the pink ribbon loop works as a border, and the colorful lines in the body of the scarf are fun. Nice work!

Notes

Made using linen yarn from stash. Breast Cancer ribbon draft fro handweaving.net (61261 Pink ribbon) woven on 8 shaft Varpapuu Table Loom using lilac linen yarn plyed so thicker. Frequent small sections woven using mixture of handspun and commercial yarn from stash to add interest. Also some parts woven using fine silk and fine crochet cotton.

The main aim was to weave the breast cancer ribbon and the extra colour and silk/cotton thread was used to provide interest between start and end. 
My first time weaving using Summer and Winter draft as base. Took a while (3 tries) to get it threaded up correctly and thank you to Bonnie Inouye (who designed the draft) for her help.
