It just takes practice to get better. I hold the edge where the yarn turns as I lay the yarn diagonally across and that seems to help with the neatness of the edges to some degree.

Happy weaving!

It’s nice that you could keep busy to keep your mind off the storm. When Ike came through Houston a few years ago, it was too hot to knit, but it would have been a welcome distraction! I love the vibrancy of that scarf!

I’ve also been thinking about a Cricket loom for a couple years now, but without any weaving experience I haven’t justified it yet. Maybe this will also get me on that path!

The scarf is gorgeous, but you can never go wrong with MadTosh. Great job!!

For the selvedges my teacher recommended always looking at them with the same eye (keeping the other closed) for a moment as it helps with consistency. Besides pure practice, this really helped me get a feel for the correct angle to lay the yarn before beating. Your scarf looks beautiful and definitely makes me want to weave more.
