Yay, it's done! It took me forever to finish this blasted thing; I had a wretched time getting a rhythm with the two shuttles and I think I should have started the shuttles from alternate sides... too late now so maybe next time. It took me a while to loosen up the tension- wool really doesn't need as much as cotton, does it? - so where I started the houndstooth is quite rectangular, but it squared up fast enough. As it is, I'm quite pleased with the yarn- too bad I won't be able to get more of it. It's still damp from wet-finishing and it's already a very drapy, scrunchy, warm scarf. The wool is a superwash merino and it's softer and silkier after washing than I would have thought possible.This is a number of firsts for me: first two shuttle weave, first time using my boat shuttle, and first 100% wool project.The take up after wet-finishing is quite minimal.
