No need to apologize! We love your posts. No need for everyone to reply to every post - that's why we introduced emojis. I loved "pale genius western men in labcoats." Also love Masan et Masan. Why don't I have one......?
There are entire threads about storing scarves - maybe someone with better search skills than I can link it?
ETA: It's here, enjoy!
Scarves - Scarves storage/display and care
i've been tweaking this system and finally arrived at something that works JUST the way i need it to. i have to see the buggers in order to pick one, but i also wanted storage materials that wouldn't damage the silk. the solution was archival window envelopes and stiffener boards -- fold the...

Yes, you and me both on ban island. Right after I get my Splash Park scarf. At this point I’m almost hoping I don’t like it haha. Hey, do you think it’s warm on Ban Island? I am so cold!
Congratulations @GloWW0rM! Twins on the scarf (I think this is the black one?) and on the box-- well sisters! I have been using these since I first began collecting-- they are beautiful and so well made. I thought one would do but am up to an embarrassing number (boxes and scarves
).Fantastic post and scarf @MabelJo-- that is what I love about our scarves-- all the rabbit holes that we can fall into and learn so much on the way down...Lengthy post alert, I fell down a rabbit hole…and decided to share.
Ornithology is the study of birds, including birds of prey. Ornithologists are a type of zoologist who study birds in their natural habitats or in the laboratory and they have discovered fascinating details about Peregrine falcons.
Peregrine falcons are birds of prey that are powerful and fast-flying. They hunt medium-sized birds by dropping down on them from high above in a breath-taking dive. During this spectacular hunting dive (or stoop) from heights of over .62 miles or 1 km, the falcon can reach speeds of up to 200 mph or 320 km/h as it races toward its prey.
Like modern missiles, Peregrine falcons use proportional navigation by making slight adjustments in wing position and speed before the moment they snatch their lunch out of the sky. Their high speed dive helps increase their aerodynamic force, making maneuvering easier. When the falcon pulls back its wings and builds up speed, it minimizes the need to steer. This is the same method a bobsled team uses to navigate. They tuck-up tightly together and use velocity and forward motion to gently navigate the bobsled.
During their dive, the Peregrine falcon remains very controlled in order to maintain a stable trajectory. This requires similar concentration to a Formula 1 racecar driver steering straight at 200-plus miles per hour.
I'm continually amazed by the fact most (if not all) of what we humans need or want to know has already been figured out by mother nature! Thanks to Audubon.com for this insightful information!
Falconers have trained falcons for hunting for over a thousand years, with Peregrine falcons being highly prized for their speed and skill. My SOTD was Chasse au Vol, which portrays trained falcons, some in hoods and some not, patiently waiting for their turn to go hawking.

I am going to be in the car for a long trip today and off-theme wrapped in a toasty shawl but ehere's a scarf from an archive pic that shows the domestic art of knitting with its pattern (which I never mastered). My sister is a master knitter and I marvel at the flying fingers and the counting she does in her head as the masterpieces roll out from her hands and clicking needles.
such a lovely and calm neutral
fabulous post!
The most amazing colorway - twins!
Ohmigoodness - beautiful!
Excellent choice and oh my - this pink is awesome!
Hello Scarflandia!
I'm hopelessly behind, on 37th page...
However, as it happens, I was wearing yesterday one of my only 2 scarves that fit this week's theme - Astrologie Nouvelle Maxi Twilly (design based on a calendar with astrological signs). So, I can at least share it - here it is:

Have a lovely Friday, everyone!
I love this story!
And the scarf o’course!
the pops of color are everything!
Fantastic! The drawings of this design (all of Linare’s really) are just amazing.Lengthy post alert, I fell down a rabbit hole…and decided to share.

erm - well I messed up your quote, but have marginally saved it and myself…. Counting this as my STEM post for the day
Anyway - o.m.g.
Fabulous post - I love everything about it!
LOVE!
and ohmigosh - you look adorable!
this is just gorgeous Croisette!
Thank you sweetheart!Maybe not the best association for you, but it loves you. So pretty on you.
Gorgeous! I feel like you could be camouflaged with this scarf among that scenery (but, maybe not the scarf)
It’s perfect! Lovely.
Paired wonderfully with your sweater, as usual.
Beautiful colours on you @AnnaE !
Dammit, as a knitter who could wear these colors….
The oars for the escape rowboat are behind the palm tree…Yes, you and me both on ban island. Right after I get my Splash Park scarf. At this point I’m almost hoping I don’t like it haha. Hey, do you think it’s warm on Ban Island? I am so cold!
We need to hunt for you @Teaforparrots!Dammit, as a knitter who could wear these colors….
This is a great look @yuzulife! I am a 100s fan too — great knot!
Beautiful post @HermesEchidna and how wonderful to end with Ceres a goddess who symbolizes the care and skill and dedication of all the “homely” and sustaining arts and sciences. For many of us the myth of Ceres and Persephone has an enduring appeal…
Have just re-read my comment. I meant that you couldn’t camouflage with your top - doh!such a lovely and calm neutral

Peregrine Falcons are such amazing birds, and thankfully the populations are recovering after being at risk for some years. There were a few breeding pairs where I lived growing up, and we felt very fortunate to glimpse them. I’ve never seen one in full ‘stoop’ except on television - I imagine it would be quite something to see in real life! Did you know that there is quite a sizeable urban population of Peregrines in New York?
Double-twin - on the Patisserie and the Zambeze at the top of your stack! Congrats on the Patisserie - it’s a happy CW and the fun design makes it very well suited to casual wear.
The storage box is so pretty, and so are the tempting silks within! I spy a little peek of robe Legere, en Liberte, and is that a whisper of Jaguar Quetzal? Beautiful colours and very cohesive when you see them together.
“On ban island. Right after I get my…(insert scarf name here)”. Lol, I think we can all relate!
It’s only embarrassing if you consider it out of context. Here in Scarflandia it’s marvellous!Congratulations @GloWW0rM! Twins on the scarf (I think this is the black one?) and on the box-- well sisters! I have been using these since I first began collecting-- they are beautiful and so well made.

These rich reds and blues linked with lavender are just perfect together. Such a fun design.
Dammit, as a knitter who could wear these colors….
this colourway would make you glow, @Teaforparrots
Now THAT is a public service announcement
Just remember to put them back when you are done!
Completely agree. And thank you to @HermesEchidna for being our very own ‘scarf mother’ and guiding us though a thought provoking and fun STEM week!
I’ve loved the personal stories, nerd- and bird-love, and interesting knowledge shared. Travelling, so I don't have much on-theme to share, and those I have in archive have been beautifully modelled by twins and sisters this week. Trying to make sure I catch up with comments instead
. Happy Friday all!- Status
