A selection of my scarf collection. Yikes.
I don't know when I converted into a scarf person, but apparently I am. I feel naked without one and now have an unnecessary number from which to choose when I get dressed in the morning.
The only thing missing? One of those cozy loopy double/triple wrap infinity scarves. Apparently H&M had them this past fall, but I didn't shop there at all when they had them. And Madewell had some really really sweet ones with sparkly yarn, and I dropped the ball on that one too. They had one when I checked last week but it was bright purple....which I already have a scarf that fills that need.
So I even went as far as searching for patterns and making my own. I made two different prototypes out of yarn I had laying around, both of which were not satisfactory. So I'm going to try again. I'm going to scout out the local yarn shops (finally!) and try to get it right this time. If all else fails, I might take one of my lesser favorite scarves and sew the ends together...
In the meantime I'll just keep pouting over this picture which started my obsession:
The everhip Betty

All scarves I am wearing in the first photo happen to be from Anthropologie. (Oh man I didn't even notice that...)
Hi! just discovered your blog.
ReplyDeleteYour styling in on the spot.
I can totally relate when it comes to scarves...one is never enough, quite addictive!
~adding you to my blog's list of blogs to visit.
You should check out Knitch (http://knitchknitting.com). The people are friendly and they have a pretty large selection of yarn.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me smile, cause yesterday I posted something similar I love scarves and I own a lot , but since I have seen the lookbook of Adeline Rapon , I felt in love with her infinity scarf and I have search HM for it but they were not there, a friend of mine was in Amsterdam and I gave her euros to look for me she had no luck either so yesterday morning I went to Michaels and got my self some yarn and started with one I am doing crochet, trust me I can't knit or crochet but so far its going pretty well it has a odd shape though, If it does not end up as a infinity scarf I will put a button or something to put it all together wish me luck. Post a picture of yours.
