I love this video, it's a labor of love, and I'm reproducing it here as a little holiday gift to my lovely readers.
If you have a rectangular scarf, you might have fun trying some of these looks. I'm a creature of habit, so a long scarf either gets wrapped around neck a couple of times, then tied in front and the knot pulled out like an old-fashioned riding shirt, or I fold the thing in half, put around neck, and pull the loose ends through the loopy end. Hm, on re-reading that I realize the world was blessed when noone invited me to write technical manuals. The video's pretty helpful though, and you can stop it at any point to concentrate.
What are your best scarf looks?
and meanwhile, will the persons who received notification of Giveaway winnings please get in touch? thanks!
I am as hopeless with scarf-tying as I am with origami! This is helpful - thanks. :)
ReplyDeletehi, Merry Wife, I think origami might be easier because at least the folds stay in place.
DeleteI loved watching this - so many styles. Maybe now I'll stop being lazy by opting for the loop all the time.
ReplyDeletehi, Sulky Kitten, I tend to rely on a loop as well.
DeleteThank you for the lovely gift! There are a couple of new ones for me here, will have to give them a try. I am living in scarves at this time of year.
ReplyDeletehi, xoxo, you're very welcome! i's scarf weather here, too, gusts of cold wind uo to 60 mph.
DeleteI sat this afternoon apply watching this. I used to be quite good with napkins so think I can give some of these a go!
ReplyDeleteH, Trish, iwas never any good with napkins, others got swans or little baskets, mine always looked like laundry.
ReplyDeleteLoving this! Scarves are a necessity as well as a ubiquitous fashion statement here in bitterly cold Seoul, and I have struggled to figure out how all the incredibly chic Korean women manage to not only tie their scarves so fashionably but also keep them looking fabulous. I don't know that I'll be able to keep them looking good (especially since I keep pulling them up over my nose and mouth to keep my face from freezing) but at least I'll start out looking better. (By the way, Trish gave me the link to your blog a month or so ago and I am enjoying it tremendously!)
ReplyDeletehi, MsCaroline, and welcome! I still remember waiting for the school bus on freezing mornings with a looong plaid wool scarf wrapped around head and neck and down my back - not one of my better looks.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is great to expand my sad scarf tying repertoire.
ReplyDeleteHi, ajc, what I love about this video is that it can be STOPPED til I get a fold right, then started again -- and me thinking I was only tech-savvy with documents ;^}
DeleteThank you. I could watch that wonderful spirit do almost anything forever. I love my scarves.
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome, I feel very connected to my scarves also. I live for the day when I'll be able to fold an Hermes square into a chic halter top... well, by the time I get that one down, I'll be way past any age where it might conceivably be appropriate.
