03 November, 2019... MAGIC SCARVES:
Same knot on different scarves, or same scarf with different knots

Happy Sunday, dear Scarfies!

Magic Scarves... and the Magic of our Scarves...

Well, we all know that each of our scarves is magical because of their beauty and allure. But, most of all, because of how special they make us feel. And, they always surprise us with their chameleonic properties and fascinating versatility. Very often with just a different drape or knot a treasured silk can look completely different.

This week we will explore how different knots can transform a particular scarf completely by revealing different facets of it. Sometimes when I tie a scarf in a variety of ways, I feel as if pulling a different silk from a magician’s hat. Of course, there are those designs that are intrinsically more versatile because of their graphics and it’s fascinating and fun to reveal those various facets with each knot.

One such magic scarf is A l’Ombre des Pivoines. It almost looks like it’s a different silk depending on the knot.

It will also be fun to show the same knot on different scarves. We all have those standard go-to knots or preferred ways to tie a scarf. I am always delighted to discover how a new silk will look with one of my tired-and-true knots. The following pics show the same knot on different scarves...

I also thought it might be fun to add the magic of color to this theme, by showing how a different colorway may persuade us to get several versions of the same design.. A fascinating and addictive pursuit that is proof of the magic of Hermès. Here is Brides Fleuries worn with the same jacket on different occasions. Oh, what a difference does colorway make!

I am looking forward to seeing the great variety of Hermès magic that we will all share this week!
A l’Ombre des Pivoines. yes! such a confusing experience for me as y’all would share different portions over the past year—and then “the buildings” on it were brought up when comparing to La Cite Cavaliere CWs. :facepalm:
 
Oh my!! And in your basement! Now that is hair-raising!

I cycle miles and miles of greenways each week and snakes crossing the trail are a common sight. Recently one actually tried to strike my bike tire as I rolled by........I lifted my leg and kept on pedaling. Just last week I ran over a large copperhead before I realized it was on the trail. Surprisingly it felt like a hard brick under my bike tire as I hit it. I was expecting it to feel squishy....ish. Snakes are so scary!! Hope you threw him out!
I’m fine with snakes - outside - this one did give me scare!
We did corral him in a bucket and tossed him out.
You have such a knack for picking perfect colors. Those are gorgeous.



:heart: Beautiful scarf. Poor guy, he was probably as terrified as you! Harmless, but not what one expects to find turning on the lights! :faint:
Ha! Yes, I’m sure he was frightened!
I was very worried there were more, and how on earth he got into the house!
Thanks so much! And, many of us relate to my crowds phobia, I see!


Yes... I would suffocate in that scenario


My math proficiency level is about 5th grade... Numbers make me queasy


Twins on the MdZ... I adore this Cw... Congrats!


Snakes terrify me! But your Della Cavalleria is delightful! What a wonder in every way!


Thanks so much! Yes, crowds and math are no bueno


Aladin is fabulous! Just added it to my wishlist, although I suspect it will be hard to find... And, thank you so much!


OMG, so scary! This CW of CR is amazing!
Thank you!
 
Sharing my new addition and it’s right on theme this week.

Scary teeth on my new “Marche du Zambeze.”
I adore this colorway!!


Also adding my SOTD!
Washington Carriage Detail Wash Scarf in a soft yellow.

Beautiful MAGJES!

Oh how I love DC in moussie! And YIKES- I'd have screamed and ran and shut the door....

Rattle snakes are a harsh reality of growing up in the oil fields of West Texas. One day I closed the tailgate on my dad’s truck to find a rattler previously out of view. A soft “Dad-deeeeee“ and my hero appeared with a hoe to chop off the head of offending hissing snake.

It’s a wonder I relate so well
to the undulating mass atop Caducee Rock in prune/prusse/gris.

It is strange how scared I can be of snakes but how attracted I am to designs with them!

What a FABULOUS intro!! I bow to you - Queen Fifi!
This will be a fun week - H scarves are truly magic.
Ndop in different ways....
Marvelous!
Ndop is a scarf that (to me) doesn't look like much but it SO much more when folded!
 
Beautiful MAGJES!

Haha! I get it!
A friend of mine asked (when I posted that photo on social media) when the House Warming would be - as in he would have set the house on fire… omg - how I laughed!!

Thanks Cookie. I must admit that it is one of my faves. It has so many different colours and patterns that it looks different every time I tie it!!
 
DS1 is an Anglophile when it comes to TV shows. He quotes Monty Python at me. He does kindly share TV time whenever I want to slake my thirst for blood and gore (CSI: Las Vegas and all Resident Evil movies).


My kinds of plants :lol:
We were on a nature walk once and the guide said something about a plant on the hillside. DH asked me, "Did he say it's edible?" I replied, "Not exactly. That's foxglove."


Hi, twin! The "good garden" is Aladin, a design from the 70s.
And when I wanted to refresh my memory about the tale, I was horrified to discover that all the top search hits were Disney-related :wtf: I had to filter to find the source material :no:


Your changeants just slay me!


Good finds!
The Curse of Tutakhamen even spawned a movie, I believe!
I popped a pearl bracelet in a fast food restaurant once. DS found every pearl for me. :yahoo: That was heart-stopping.

:lol: I thought you might like that. I have on occasion tried opting for creepy-ish plants in the garden but they always end up not being suitable for Texas heat...so I have assuaged my dark plant desires by planting deep purple/black leafed Crepe Myrtles; Black Diamond (HEK YEAH!) and Moonlight Magic (AWRIGHT!). :tup:
