First scarf purchased in 2024 was the Le Jaguar et colibri CSGM. It is also my most worn shawl this year. 
My award for 90cm scarf of the year is an easy one because it’s the only one I bought this year - Hermes Flagship! My collection is mostly shawls, with only a handful of scarves thrown in over the years. I love how sumptuous and glossy the silks look but they often feel too “fussy” for my life. I work, but mostly from home, and then am running around with my (still quite little) kids when I’m not working. I wasn’t sure if I would ever add another 90cm to my collection but had to have this as soon as I saw it in the boutique. I’ve thought of framing it, but I might give it and the few others in the back of the scarf drawer another try with some of the ideas I’ve seen on this thread for wearing scarves more casually.
Both are delicate wintry beauties but I esp love that VdF!!! It screams Arctic, somehow.
That PdL is just smashing!!! Ok, I MUST know - where do you buy all your fabulous sweaters? The knit pattern of that mustard yellow one is calling to me.
Sisters on Emile!!! That’s a very fun cw also.
Uggghhhhhh just bought this in the future. Thankssss….
Absolutely epic! I doubt I will ever find one of these in the shawl format and just swoon every time I see one.
I love Oscarf Week because it is such a great prelude to New Year's Scarf Resolutions. Now I can look back and see all the resolutions I failed to keep from 2024while at the same time, giving myself awards for the bounty all those broken rules yielded!!!
But here's my first category, which is nothing but pure joy and the satisfaction of a long hunt finally yielding silk gold...

Both are amazing grails! I think I will have to copy you and Glo with your Sieste shawls, they are so stunning and eye-catching.
Excellent choices!!! Yay for twinning on the red d’Orphee. I so wish we could twin on the orange/blue shawl as well but I don’t think it lights my heart aflame.
A trio of pink beauties, well done! And congrats on the Emile, we are twins on that one.
It’s so exquisite, glad to hear you are getting so much use out of it!
This is so charming with the denim top! And looks great with your hair.
My 2024 Oscarf for What the Heck Was I Waiting For??!! goes to Ex Libris en Kimonos. I acquired two this year and they are both exquisite and amongst my favorites. I am hoping to obtain several more cws, at least in the 90.

I've wanted this since I first saw it way back at the start of my orange journey. And that first one I encountered was a special edition priced at $6kSubsequent encounters with this elusive beauty were always fleeting, until this year when a friendly seller offered it to me at a non-heart-attack-inducing price
Congrats, Les Renards, you win the Oscarf for Longest Hunt
The second award for Most Pleasant Surprise goes to Les Jardins d'Armenie. Karen Petrossian did 2 designs to celebrate Armenian culture. I really liked both. Lettres d'Erevan is a CSGM, so it was on the maybe list (tropical weather limit on any greed for cashmere). So I decided several years ago to get the 90 Les Jardins. I hit a roadblock for 2 reasons: I'm not a big fan of tiny florals and have skipped several wonderful designs because of this personal preference. Second reason is that the ones in good condition and acceptable price point were not in cws I liked. I finally sprung for the pink, although it looked kind of dull in the seller's photos. I was Most Pleasantly Surprised when a vibrant candy pink arrived!

Honest admission: I still want Lettres, so if ever that lands in my hands, it would be Oscarf-worthy too!
My third award is the Take A Chance on Me Oscarf which goes to the work of another Karen: L'Arbre de Vie by Karen Swildens. Yes, not the L'Arbre of the same name by Christine Henry. I saw it on a reseller site a few years back and was assured that it wasn't some knock-off design. It was, however, the pics were bad, the price was too high to risk it and I wasn't enamoured enough to risk it. I picked it up this year and I'm delighted. @marietouchet identified thus as a Scandinavian Tree of Life. I haven't had the time yet, but I'm definitely going to delve into the folklore behind this.

Start handing out the awards, everyone! It's time for a lookback. In a year when RL has been less than peaceful, take joy in the little things of life. The Carpe Diem award, anyone?
Thank you @xincinsin for hosting the last two weeks of the year.
I absolutely love the Oscarfs 😍
Your Les Renards is so terribly cute and I love the riot of pink flowers of Les Jardins d’Armenie 🥰
Looking forward to this week!

Such gorgeous grail additions @LKBNOLA. Love love love the Sieste. Also, I would love to read more about yours and every one’s New Years Scarf Resolutions ☺️ I still have to make mine!
Amazing new additions. Congratulations! Shackleton is so alluring in the light pink.
I am at awe not only with your stunning collection of Sous le charme d’Orphée @LKBNOLA, but also with your collage making abilities 😝
Beautiful colours and how nice to be able to share some pieces with your daughter!
Beautiful selection @HermesEchidna. Pink suits you so well. And that silver Emile is tdf. So pretty!
Voitures has such elegant lines and swirls. It’s so nice that you found your CSGM workhorse. They are priceless.
You have an exquisite little collection of CSGM @Redbirdhermes! They are very you imo. Enjoy!
It is spectacular @scarf1!
I am like you, I mostly wear shawls and focus my collection on those first. But I do wear my silk more often now that I got used to wearing them everyday in my home office. They feel less formal at home lol. I love your red Flagship, so pretty with the denim top!
What the heck you look stunning @Jereni! I hope you are having nice holidays and safe travels. Enjoy!
It’s gorgeous in red. I always think blond hair and red are a great combination.
I have a special fondness for floral designs and cashmere shawls.
The Oscarf for Best Floral of 2024 goes to Tulipomanie giant triangle 🎉🥳🌷
It is a design that many seemed to love this year.
I also nominate mine for most debated colourway for me 😋but I am so happy I finally settled for this monochrome version.
Unfortunately it also wins the Oscarf for the shawl I managed to snag the first time I wore it outside 🥲 but I hope to be able to fix it soon.

Beautiful collection and impressive collage making techniques! I agree that it was the best design of the year. I bought it in caramel and in blue and have so far resisted the terracotta - which I think is so special with the soft green hem, but did not look anywhere near as good on me as the other two.
