DONE: Shadow Weave Silk Scarf

Today I finally had a few minutes to sit down and take care of the finishing touches on my Shadow Weave Silk Scarf. I started by trimming all of the little ends that appear when you join threads during the weaving the way that I do.  When I am weaving, I typically do my joins…
