Just a Sunday outtro of STEM-week-

Thank you all for your generous sharing of beautiful designs, cute Nerd Love Stories and clever connections to the theme. And thanks for putting up with my lengthy rantings on the fringes of stem.

I knew there had to be a lot of great stem/steam designs out there which I did not know about, and this week has added several to my wish list - so also Thank you (I Think ) for that.

One very fast decision and speedy hunting process happened this week and this scarf will forever be known by me as my “guest-scarf-mistress-premiere-week-impulse-buy-scarf”.

I tried to convince an Old friend to let me adopt her stunning Black cw - hinting that the colors did not suit her (they did) and that she should not keep it (she did). But Then she alerted me to this one, almost as great a cw as the Black.
I am now the proud owner - and thus a sister to a bunch of you - of Laboratoire du Temp.

And how Could I even exist without a scarf featuring both Cave people, dinosaurs, Big Bang, the Wilbur brothers, industristrialization, video games, Moon landing - and a disco ball (huge scientific invention!)?

Thank you for your effective enablement and for all you kind comments throughout the week!

Wish you all a steaming Sunday!

What a stunning scarf! I almost bought the same on the aftermarket a while a go but I was not fast enough!

Thank you for an amazing week, I did not get to comment because life is a bit too busy now, but I so enjoyed passing by when I could to look at your lovely selfies and mod shots!

I did manage a scarf yesterday-- the day was so cold but cashmere and fleece came to the rescue. I was very busy with a pipe cleaner and bead project that my small craft partner and I spent the morning on. STEM connection: a great way to develop patterning and counting skills while playing! Results posted below. Not quite up to @bunnycat's aesthetic beading standards but, well, you have to start somewhere, right?

Good morning Scarflandia!

Goodness - I have a hard act to follow this week after @HermesEchidna, absolutely fantastic week of STEM! Thank you so much for an amazing week!

This week we double our fun!

1.21.24 - Double the Fun - wear two scarves of any size (mixed formats welcome) or a doubleface.

Double our fun - woot! Oddly enough my Sunday morning started on an auspicious note…


Yeahhhhh… it’s very cold!
So what’s a scarfie to do?
Well - wear two!
I won’t scold,
But do as you’re told
Be bold!

Ohmigosh - it’s too early for cheesy poetry
(Never!!)

Anywho - this week we’re doubling up, we’re wearing our double faces (and there’s a subset - the two faces of Janus?),


two wee cuties at the same time,

two silks,


Perhaps a silkie under a cashmere…
wait that’s one I’ve got to do yet ..
so here’s an impromptu photo from the airport last night! I’m wearing two sweaters, a jacket, Le Jaguar et Colibri AND a cape with a darling fox collar!


Let’s double our fun this week Scarflandia,
And remember whatever H you’re wearing it’s always on theme!
Stay warm cuties!!

 

[Karenska]

Thank you for this explanation @Awillow-- you always look great in your moussies and I sometimes struggle yo keep them from turning into limp noodles around my neck!

Oh, @Ashanti_Rose -- I would love to see it also and more important, I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Beautiful and on-point examples but your last observation made me giggle @xincinsin! That's a beautiful Aux Pays des Epices gav!

Oh, thank you @SilkCouture! Some of my LE/SE scarves I have tracked down after the fact but I have several that I selected because of the cause the issue supported. It always feels a bit special to be able to support a worthy cause with a scarf purchase-- especially a beautiful and unisial cw!

I thought so! I love it -- I would love to add a colorful 90 in this design @Croisette7-- the vignettes are so special...

Limp noodle is the word . I adore the 140 mouss and 140 summer silks but I put them on and they just seem to ‘blah out’, if that can be believed with such gorgeous fabrics. And they are slippery! And then I get warm and become a silken mess . @Awillow, you have given me and all of us a fun way to tie these babies in a way that befits their lofty status!

Hi
A quick off topic sotd - me and my scarf twin/neighbour airing our Grand Carosse Royals to mark the queens abdication and celebrate the new King.
We felt very royal, but I will spare you the photo where we are waving to an imaginary cheering crowd

I love this, HE - beautiful and so nicely tied! Zounds!

Happy Sunday! It's been too busy for me to comment on everyone's STEM scarves! Thank goodness for the like options. @HermesEchidna - what a fantastic week, I hope you host more theme weeks in the future. I enjoyed everyone's stories.

Yesterday's scarf - Jaguar et le Colibri for a very cold day out.

Dear @HermesEchidna ,
Just wanted to say thank you for doing an awesome job this week! Your beautiful new scarf will be a sweet reminder of your debut as the scarf mistress.

Today is about Scientific explorations - about coluring in the white areas of the maps and reaching the final frontiers.

Certainly many expeditions through history have had less noble motives than a quest for knowledge, and narratives of especially European expedition history are in need of some serious decolonization.

But let us try to find the examples and designs which still hold some beauty, regardless of harsh historical facts, and find scarves which tell us stories of human urges to explore the planet, time and space.

Look how this one leopard (of the Douze Leopards) is Dreaming about travels to unknown places!

View attachment 5930127

Sandra Laroche’s two expedition scarves, Per Astra ad Astra and Le Geographe are obvious examples , and there are also certain polar-related scarves, which I , alas, cannot model in person, but I am sure somebody in here will bring them out. And there must be more!?

Le Geographe - based on the Baudin expedition which set sail in 1800 with the two ships Géographe and Naturaliste to map the coast of Australia. Both zoologists and botanists were a part of the expedition to also record the wildlife and fauna of the continent. Four of the members of the party are portraied on the corners of the scarf, which also feautures the ship itself, an Australian map and examples of Said wildlife.

Le Geographe ( photos from two different cws)

Another Laroche design Show the travels of French naval officer Lapérouse who in 1785 lead an expedition around the Globe. The design show a number of the places and people he encountered along the way, like in Hawai, Alaska, Mauritius, Japan, Russia and Australia. The expedition and the lives of its members was abruptly ended when both of the two ships of the expedition wrecked on Vaniroko - an Island seen in the center of the scarf. The ships were named La Boussole ( a compas) and L’Astrolabe (an instrument used for determining latitude by measuring attitudes of stars).

When the need to explore hit us, not even the sky is the limit, and space race, sputniks, shuttles, sattelites and rockets are plentifull in so many designs, reflecting the fascination of space travel. This is an area where my collection is painfully inadequate - but again Nothing but a Dreamer rescues me. And Rocket Racoon (of the Guardians of the Galaxy…)

As my probably sotd I am so exited to show you the first grail mail of 2024: Les Voyages de Pytheas which has been top of my list for some time. Depicting the travels in 4th century BC by Pytheas from Marseille to Northern Europe and even the arctic, this is a design I had to have and am thrilled to try on today for the first time.

Wish you all a day of smooth sailing !

What a wonderful post and chockful of great information. Love that inquisitive leopard - “and gladly would he learn” paraphrasing Chaucer, I think. Your examples are truly en pointe, HE, and I love your cw of LVdP - congratulations! We are sisters snd I love both of mine, but yours is indeed jollyily colorful. What a design! Such a grail.
I took my more worn one, the light blue, to Iceland and it was perfect, standing on the Reynisfyara black sand beach, imagining the Norse settlers coming here for the first time.

Here is my other cw, taupe, love the red in this one.

Starting the week on theme with baking, which is a science we can all enjoy. I'm not much good at doing it myself, but I'm an expert when it comes to the taste test!

La Patisserie Francaise gavroche is SOTD, and my pink and orange matches the beautiful sunrise here today.

So beautiful Croisette, and such a great design!

In the late 1800s large urban areas were in crisis. The common mode of transportation at that time was a horse and buggy, with many families owing a single horse. Horses are large animals which were never intended to live in great numbers in urban areas due to the copious amounts of manure that they produce. Cities were drowning in manure, streets were covered with the poo that liquefied when it rained, sewer systems were failing, disease was spending thanks to dead horse carcasses laying around, you get the idea. Architecture even changed to lift building entrances higher to keep the slew of flowing manure out of homes. Here is a picture of a New York City street in 1893.

View attachment 5933877

This is another famous photo of a London street taken during that same era. In 1894 the Times predicted that in 50 years every street in London would be buried under 9 feet of manure.

View attachment 5933880

We know the horse manure crisis was averted thanks to the invention of the automobile. This example of technology to the rescue is often cited as a reason to wait and not worry about our current crises.

Thank you for a wonderful week of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, @HermesEchidna. Many weeks I am able to select my future scarf of the day candidates ahead of time. But, given your clever and imaginative sub-themes, virtually none of the scarves I actually wore were selected in advance. This is true of my choice today as well.

One place in the US where horses remain the primary form of transportation is Mackinac Island in northern Michigan, since cars are not allowed. In 2007 actor and star of "Dirty Jobs", Mike Rowe, went to Mackinac Island and shoveled horse manure. I remember the stable hand extoling the virtues of the French Percheron horses that they used on the island, and Mike replying that he was honored to shovel such high quality Percheron poo.

In any case, I'm delighted to be wearing my final STEM scarf of the week, which I never figured was STEM. Chevaux de France shows various breeds of French horses.

Whenever I see the Percheron on this scarf, I think of Mike Rowe shoveling their "high quality" manure, and it makes me giggle.

I'm wearing Chevaux de France as my scarf of the day, which happens to be tied to show the business end of the Percheron.

Bwahahaaa - I remember that episode
Thank you for the info though, I honestly had no idea!
This is another of your scarves I covet, still searching - the perfect color. ❤️

Thanks so much everyone- special thanks to @Awillow @GloWW0rM and @LKBNOLA . Happy Sunday all. We had a close shave for last nights football game against the Packers and just barely eked a win. Suffice to say, we enjoyed an evening with friends, comfort food and conversation.

Thank you @Cookiefiend for the new theme week even though I could easily enjoy a lot of STEMmy architectural silks

Since we are doubling our fun - here are a few that might add a doubling scarf energy to theme week ?

Duo Cosmique- pun on words but the title for this scarf in on point?


What I am wearing today is Plunes et Fete double knotted at the neck and sharing an older Plumes design that might have been an inspiration for Aline Honore’s newer interpretation?




I might as well add the second Plumes en Fete 90 silk to the feather party as well!
