Scarves

not true, they are quite useful for plugging up the neck hole of your jacket and keeping the cold out in the winter, if you wear them correctly.

My scarves:

a Lindsey tartan cashmere scarf
a stripey florescent orange and pink wool scarf
a navy green and maroon fictional school scarf
a silk twill scarf with Persian hussairs on it
an orange pleated silk scarf with Andalusian horses on it
a celery colored silk pocket square with a tiny repeating camel pattern on it
a chiffon scarf with tiny multicolored pattern on it

I went through a phase when all I wanted was a perfectly square white chiffon scarf with navy polka dots on it. I think I bought one like this for my grandmother but then I couldn't find one for myself. People tried to buy me ones but the dots would be wrong or the shape wasn't right or it would be white on navy, so I gave up.

I don't really wear scarves much anymore. Except for the warm scarves, I haven't worn any of these scarves in the past year except one of the silk ones that I sometimes wear as a belt with a denim skirt.

You can never have too many scarves or belts or shoes or sunglasses or hats or . . . (even Amanda de Cadanet can remember the word "accessories")

I don't wear any of these very much.

Sock drawer: left one-third (most approximately) for socks; right two-thirds for tights/pantyhose.

Scarves = 1 pale blue skinny 6' long one that I always wear, 1 fringed white acrylic one, and 1 thick, bright red, rib knit one- which I love, but it's never cold enough to wear it out here.

drawing of my baby blue scarf that I made last year when I bought it, I'll maybe wear it this year again, so.

I recently threw out all of my socks (they were all quite old) and bought new ones, so I can tell you exactly what I have:
6 pr. thin black socks
6 pr. thick black socks
3 pr. thick charcoal socks
the socks are paired but not organized, as there is no need for them to be.

it needs to go with a dark blue jacket and a brown cordouroy jacket.

i am in the world capitol of scarves, so any color or combination of colors will be easy to come by, i think.

so what colors? what sizes? what fabrics?

also, can someone point me to a easy-to-understand demonstration of how to best and most fashionably wear a scarf? so far i've been getting by with an indifferent wrap-around.

my latest one is greyish black woollen (sp?) scarf. I need a good loop method too.

amt should get a wool 'twee' scarf, which means bright colours.

Saying that, I have LOADS of umbrellas.

I really want a pale, pale gray cashmere ribbed scarf that's about 8" wide, but I haven't found one in stores. I take that back, I haven't found any at prices I'm willing to pay in stores.

Hah! Sam, I do the same thing. I've only knit myself about 3 scarves, and about 30 for other people. I feel like such a fake, wearing a MACHINE-KNIT scarf. Oh well. It's a nice color.

I do have two cool hand-knit "fashion" scarves made from interesting fibers - one my MIL made for me; the other she gave me the fiber for and I did myself. (The one I did myself the brand is Galaxy and it is made in Italy. It's viscose, rayon and acrylic - sort of a lovely combination of rose, glue, black and metallic gold).

I briefly thought of unraveling my own target-bought red chenille scarf and reknitting it but the fiber looked cheap and unfun to knit.

I still like crochet though so I'm thinking about making a scarf from green/lilac/blue yarn I have and hiding the yarn ends in some fringe.

OK you're gonna think I'm lying, or creepy, or something, but after scrolling about 3/4 of the way down this page, THOSE PRECISE WORDS IN THAT ORDER crept into my mind, and I was in fact going to post them here and now barring an appearance from Dom. Whew. Maybe I've been fully assimilated?

FUCK

FUCK

FUCK I'd been having such an *awesome* day as well

now my pride and joy is lost, presumably left on the floor of the indoor cricket training facility

probably if I go back there tomorrow it will have been repossessed and I will enter a period of mourning

YAY it has been recovered!

this means a lot

feel-good story of the morning. very pleased fur you.

I had a loony panic coming out of a club t'other week when I thought I'd lost the scarf my mother knitted for me. Turned out I'd stuffed it through the sleeves of my jacket to preclude the possibility of this happening. Ended happily.

I need a new "nice" scarf but I keep looking at ones that I can't afford:

Anyway, the reason I need a new one is that I keep losing them so spending any moderate amount of money is probably a bad idea.

Ah crap those were supposed to be img tags
