Dear Karenska, thankyou for your wonderful introduction! My children absolutely loved this book, when they were little.Good morning, dear Scarflandians, and Happy New Year! I hope it’s gotten off to a great start for everyone. Many thanks to Bunnycat for getting the 2022 Scarf Party started, and to all of you for showing your glorious and happy silks.
Scarfies, let’s keep the party movin’! Because we’re goin’ to that place Where the Wild Things Are!

Creatures Real & Imaginary, especially in unusual colours.
Snakes, real creatures, come in amazing colors, but I couldn’t find a photo that didn’t frighten the wilies out of me, and I certainly didn’t want to frighten you, so I’ll just tell you a story. Once at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, I saw the most exquisite, fuscia-colored pit viper, a tiny and elegant miracle of gorgeous iridescent pinks. It was breathtaking to behold. This remarkable and beautiful creature came from the American Southwest, where there is so much red, sand and pink rock. I was fairly mesmerized by it, despite the fact that I am terrified of snakes. (On a side note, it was the exact color of an Estee Lauder lipstick I wore in my twenties.) All kidding aside, it was a most extraordinary specimen.
Here is another creature - Wooley’s hot-pants wearin’, rock-n-rollin’ One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater, thought to be extinct, but who knows?.

A few specimens from my own silk zoo and throughout the week I’ll exhibit others.
How about the crazy half-horse chimeras playing games on Della Cavalleria Favolosa? From Hermès’ Story Behind, “Della Cavalleria is one of the most extraordinary treatises in the history of riding. Written by Georg Engelhard von Löhneysen, it was published in Bavaria at the very beginning of the 17th century, and now a part of the Émile Hermès collection. Illustrated with baroque engravings, it presents some German sleighs drawn by fabulous creatures and richly adorned horses. Playing with these, the designer pushes extravagance even further by assembling horses' bodies and chimerical monsters. Keeping in the theme of games, she humorously gives one a racket, a yoyo or a diabolo to another, creating strange visual associations worthy of an exquisite corpse.”

They would also have loved the Cavalleria Favolosa. It has this special mixture of beauty and folly. Yo-yo playing monsters!
I am so excited to see all the wild things this week!@Foxy trini and @LKBNOLA , it’s amazing how different your twin Animapoli look when paired with different-colored sweaters. Both are swoon-worthy

Your phoenixes are so beautiful, I can totally understand, why you didn’t stop with only one poor single bird.Nothing makes me happier than my phoenixes, the bird responsible for the trip and tumble down the orange slope. I truly intended to buy just one...

In honour of my guilty pleasure, I'm going to fit in a phoenix at least twice a month this year to give them all a chance to flutter out of the box
He would have been really unhappy with no friends around! 
This look is so beautiful! I love your sweater, too. FeB is one of my fav designs and maybe I need one down the proverbial road
. I love that knot, too! No ramen, though

This is just a swoon-worthy post in every way @xincinsin! I very much hope to add a coloriage as company for my lonely little 70. These are just stunning and so so wonderfully paired with your tops.Nothing makes me happier than my phoenixes, the bird responsible for the trip and tumble down the orange slope.

Oh @Redbirdhermes I also have this Wild Singapore in my collection! So I am your scarf-sister, right?
Thank you kindly, Katharina Luise!So pretty with your flowerpower-skirt and the pink cardigan, dear @Pampelmuse
Wonderful warm colors for a cold day, dear @Croisette7 I love your CdC!
It is a great design, and ties SO well!
Coco isn’t overly fond of wearing scarves, but she’s a good sport about it… as for a CdC for her… lead me knot into temptation!
(cuz, I can find it on my own!
Its gorgeous in this cw!
I love green… I almost wish I hadn’t seen this… now I want/need it!
I have to say I am also tempted!
Thank you, Karen.
As I understand it, if you have the exact same colorway, then we are scarf Twins. If you have this design in a different colorway, we are scarf Sisters. If you have a particular design in a different format (say a 45 instead of a 90), then we are cousins, I think. Some of these distant relations can get a bit complicated. In any case, congratulations on having a beautiful scarf.Oh @Redbirdhermes I also have this Wild Singapore in my collection! So I am your scarf-sister, right?
Ah! Thankyou! And now I know we are Twins
Even better than sisters!Although it is a day late for last week's theme I wanted to post this last scarf. Polka dots always make me happy! I was able to grab this recently from the website and was "happy" I did. I can't wait for spring to wear this little gem.
I think that’s it! Those are the terms I use.
