Everywhere Scarves!!!

. . . and I love them. If I'm just noticing them I'm sure they have been very popular for ages. My fashion awareness is not out front. But if I'm a bit slow on this matter - it does not matter. I can still enjoy scarves and am delighted with mine. I started crocheting and knitting scarves about 3 -4 years ago (so maybe I'm not so slow after all) thick ones and skinny ones. Yarn ones and ribbon ones. One of my challenges is being a warm blooded, desert dweller and the scarves make me too hot. To my delight, we've had some chilly weather this winter and I've gotten out my scarves and worn them. Linny made me a pretty one for Christmas and I've worn that also. Much thanks again Linz. I also picked up a couple of scarves-bordering-on-shawls while traveling last year and have finally started wearing them. I'm finding this fun and I may look silly or awkward but I'm enjoying it.

I also enjoy a blog called The Satorialist which I found through Boo's blog-thanks AK. All these scarf photos came from there. When I visit this blog it's like a mini vacation to a new country. Not only are the photos from France, Italy, New York etc. but this fashion-industry-world is really a very different world than mine. It's fun to peek in and see what other people are wearing on the street. Is that admitting too much. I did not realize that the scarf was such a guy thing also. Why not!

Are you wearing scarves this winter? I'm open to fashion tips from you savvy people.
You can click on the photos to enlarge and my personal opinion is do it, these are really sharp and fun to see in detail.

Look at all that scarf!!!!

The photo below is from a Martha site with instructions for knitting the hat. I was so disappointed those scarf directions were not included but I think a basic knitter could figure it out with large needles and the right yarn. I bet Skippie could give me the help I'd need. She's quite the knitter.
