I pulled the dominoes off the loom. They are really good, and I like them a lot, but I will like them even more with the few changes that I mentioned before. I think they would make a stunning scarf, and be very warm in wool.
Here are some more shots:
This is the pattern on the other side, which you actually see in Bertha's book:
And I tried a little bit in green:
And the other side, which is almost more stunning than the first side:
The rainbow portion:
I like the portions of the nature spun wool to the 20/2 wool. Also, I think the red is even more stunning than the green, but I realize it's a matter of opinion:
The little stars between the designs really pop out! They are cute!
I like this scarf idea a lot, but I think I am leaning towards Bertha Gray Hayes' jitterbug pattern. It might be a neater overall pattern because it's less predictable. The dominoes are very organized, and I think I want something that looks just a hair more chaotic!
I purposely made a smaller piece of the dominoes fabric
so I could try felting it. It happened to be the green:
It's kind of neat looking and feeling when it's felted,
but I think I truly like the original better:
