Creative Tuesdays - Scarf

When I heard this week's theme was 'scarf', the first thing that came to mind was a houndstooth pattern. So here is my houndstooth scarf. Can you spot an error in my pattern? I guess that's what makes it a true original! It's really a fascinating, classic pattern and it was quite tricky to do. I pencilled it in and then finished it with a finepoint marker. Please stop by the other Creative Tuesday entries to see their interpretation of 'scarf''.

I have a houndstooth winter dress coat. Can I borrow your scarf to go with it? :)

This must have taken ages, Christine! Love the detail.

EVA said...

I love houndstooth too!! Never thought to draw it! Very zentangle like, isn't it?

I also have a dress coat which I wear especially when I travel

Jane said...

The detail in the fringe is amazing

Jenny said...

So lovely! I'm looking too but it's starting to make my eyes boggle! :) Must have taken you ages...very fiddly!

Pete said...

Can play a game of checkers with it! LOL!

Wanda said...

I'm loving the detail you have in your houndstooth scarf.... at first glance, I thought it was a checker board...

You put a lot of work and time in this theme, and it paid off...it's wonderful.

Hello,

Wow, this is so unique an interpretation--I love its strak contrast and how you decpicted this on a red background. You are getting so so creative in your interpretations,Christine--I love it. Very impressive indeed. Never even hear of this pattern before but how wonderful...adn no, sorry, but after looking until I'm cross eyed I don;t see any glaring imperfection! Where is it?

BTW, love that fringe too--looks like it is coming off the paper.

Michael said...

I guess it's in the 4th row, left side. However, I had to stare and count and compare to get it. I don't think it's something anybody would notice. My eyes are sort of crossed now.

Very creative! This must have taken a lot of time and patience. Houndstooth is a very classic pattern and will be around forever. So you will always be in style : )

Kristin Dudish said...

Wow - what patience! Such a cool interpretation of the theme :)

Great pattern. Reminds me of a zen doodle.

Birdie said...

this is fantastic! I think I'm going to have to make one too, just for fun.

fabulous detail!

Janice said...

I love the simplicity and clean lines of this. What a fabulous scarf. It looks perfect to me...

Christine said...

thanks for the great comments everyone. Mmm and Kay, you found the error! First I'm hearing of Zentangle Zen doodles, but interesting. And it didn't take long to make this at all. I sketched it quickly with a ruler one night. The next morning, outlined it with the marker, hence the error as I'm not very patient at all.

TBM said...

Fantastic pattern! And the fringe looks so real, Christine.
