I really love working on these scarves - initially I was happy to simply work with the interplay of color while challenging myself with a twill pattern to help make the scarves drape better.
I started with Ace Pride, because it's so often overlooked and Ace people are often excluded from queer spaces, despite being queer themselves.
This came to me as both obvious enough to those in the know, but subtle enough that those not in the know would simply see something (hopefully) sophisticated.
The Bi flag being only three colors presented a different kind of design challenge but I really like it - it looks less like a plain plaid and more like a tartan. <3
The beautiful pastel number is, of course, the trans pride flag. Somehow, despite being five rows, it still comes out looking more like a tartan and less like a plaid.
Once I was satisfied with the color interplay, I began moving into weave structure, interlacing it with different lace structures.
I really love working on these, though I only take a few at a time to keep from being burned out.
If you have any questions or comments on the items, please feel free to comment! If you'd like to look into a scarf of your own, well....Magic Rabbit Fiber Arts is here.
My piece, Springs Shade Wondering will be in the exhibit Spring at the Arts Illiana Gallery in Terre Haute, IN and I'm super excited about it! It's definitely worth seeing in person.
