SpiderMan Bandaids

OK - what does spiderman bandaids have to do with anything?

I attended the workshop sponsored by the Michigan Weavers Guild that was given by Diane Totten titled "Crimp and Create".  One of the items on the supply list was bandaids.  Of course I had to throw the spiderman bandaids into the bag.  The bandaids - which I ended up sharing with others, was for the blisters one developed from crimping on the pull threads to create the permanent pleats that was part of the technique we learned.

I read the instructions incorrectly so I was not able to experiment as much as others with various "patterns" of crimping.  So I was left with color experimentation.

But I loved the technique.  So crimped scarfs are now on my list for future weaving projects.
