Thanks!! I just love it too - it's one of my favourites!!! But if you look on Rav they all look very different Confused But this is the second time I have knitted this colourway (I got quite a bit in the GK sale about 2 years ago Wink ) and the first pair was pretty similar. They were a pressie and I can't find a pic of them but the ones on Rav are mostly different to this - very odd Laughing

I also have a scarf that DH wove for me when he first got his loom in the Aslan Lion & Lamb heart I will put a pic up of that as it is lovely too Razz

The sock looks fabby and the scarf is gorgeous! Very nice work Mr P!

Can I ask how many skeins it took for the scarf? It also looks like it is warped with Aslan as well as woven? I ask because I have a rigid heddle loom and despite my best intentions, haven't used it yet. I was thinking a small scarf would be a good first project  Smile

Thanks!!! I will tell him Razz It IS indeed warped with Lion and Lamb and I think took only 1 skein - I would only let him buy one as it was only his second thing woven and I thought he was being a bit presumptious using that Laughing  Laughing It is a LITTLE too tightly woven so is not as drapey as he had intended and is not a huge scarf but VERY nice indeed Cool He has the largest size rigid heddle and that is what he used.

Thanks Jo - I DO think he's very clever Cool It was a beautiful present.
