you shd use a scarf sitffened by wire so it stands out behind you and looks as if you're battling yr way thru a hurricane to see yr honey. who will be flattered by yr dauntless heroism in the face of extreme weather, just to see her/him, and - if the imposture becomes known - secretly moved by yr passion and cute inventiveness

losing scarves is something I'm good at.

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.

I too am an Oxford-type person, and I own one scarf - an Oxford Utd scarf. Although the idea was for me to buy a load of scraves, it just hasn't worked out liek that - they're either too pretenscious, or too girly. Scarves are a bit like umbrellas - they're very English, and half eccentic, half cool.

Saying that, I have LOADS of umbrellas.

Mmmmm scarves. I like the pale blue in that scarf!

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.

Okay, so right now I'm wearing my scarf in that modern like it's a tie way. I feel stupid, and rightly so.

I still wear a store bought scarf even though I've knit tons for others. I feel stupid. (i do wear my own hat/mittens though.)

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 don't wear usually winter scarves myself, and yet I knit them for other people. There's no reason to feel stupid about it; you're just selfless, right?!

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).

glue?

i'm horrible about actually sewing/knitting things myself. all of my own projects go on the backburner while I make gifts. i enjoy foisting my handmade items on unwilling loved ones.

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

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 9 February 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'm way too selfish to knit.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 9 February 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Knittis is great! It gives you something to do with your hands. It is also fun to have people come up to you and be impressed, even when you are knitting something super simple. (Like say, a scarf...)

knitting has obsessed me for more than a year now. I hope it lasts a lifetime.

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 9 February 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

All my scarfs (and hats) are hand knit. They are much warmer than the store boughts.

I looooove watching people knit on the train, but I don't favor winter scarves because standard ones are never big enough for the babushka wrap-around that is my excuse to never wear a stocking cap. Shawls, that's where it's at.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 10 February 2007 03:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I got discouraged from crocheting scarves, because the yarn ends always end up coming out of my crochet no matter how carefully I try to weave them in after. So now I have a storebought plain black scarf and a pink fake-burberryish one and a light blue one.

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.

― Poppy (poppy), Saturday, 10 February 2007 03:58 (seventeen years ago) link

just got two colorful striped scarves (big enough to work as shawls or whatever too) of delightfully fine cotton---one orange, and one blue & green. $5 apiece! Sort of in this vein:

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?

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

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.

three years pass...

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.
