Off to Sunday brunch. Stately Wheels 90, my only red scarf, paired with Peekaboo with a python handle (year of the snake?). Love how the diamond-back snake motif coords with the pattern on the horse’s tiara (of course, only I notice that and geek out on this… LOL)… oh, just noticed… the border on this one is nice, too! I suppose this post crosses over themes for back-to-back-to-back weeks

26 Jan - Festive Hues: Bright Colours for the Lunar New Year, especially red

Happy New Year, scarf friends!

This year, the Lunar New Year is on Wednesday, January 29.

Before discussing the lunar new year, let's talk about the 'traditional' new year that a large portion of the world celebrates on January 1. Why January 1?

It just kind of... happened. January as a month existed since 713 BCE, but January 1 became the first day of the year in 153 BCE. Previously, the New Year started in March on the spring equinox, when new Roman consuls began their term. A political crisis in Lusitania in 153 BCE led the Romans to send a consul 2.5 months early, shifting the year's start. Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar in 46 BCE and formalized January 1 as the first day of the year.

When the Gregorian calendar was created, Pope Gregory XIII adjusted it for leap years and formalized the 'new' January 1 (10 days sooner than it would have been otherwise) as the start of the year.

With Western countries exploring the world and attempting colonization, January 1 became a standard New Year for many. At the same time, there are other New Years: the Jewish New Year (we are currently in year 5785), the Ethiopian New Year, the Thai New Year, the Persian New Year, the Islamic New Year, and what I understand to be multiple New Years in India, including Diwali.

But we are here to celebrate the Lunar New Year!

In the U.S. and many countries, it is commonly known as the Chinese New Year, but that is not correct, as many other Asian countries celebrate it: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, and the Philippines. It is also celebrated in several countries with significant Chinese populations, such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Japan. And, of course, in many other countries like the U.S., there are major diaspora celebrations as well.

The Lunar New Year began as a way to acknowledge the end of the winter and the start of spring. In fact, in Chinese, the holiday is called 春节, the spring festival, although that is more a Chinese Communist name. In Taiwan, they call it 农历新年, the farming/agricultural new year (although that would be written in traditional Chinese, which I can't do).

There are many explanations for the origins of the holiday and the traditions surrounding it. The most common one is that there was a beast called Nian that would attack villages at the start of each year. Nian could be driven away by lights, noises, and the color red, which has led to traditions such as wearing red clothes, using red decorations, and using firecrackers.

So, to start the week, we are going to drive away all the beasts with red and gold, a classic Lunar New Year pairing (red for luck and prosperity and gold for wealth).

What a delightful introduction, @AnnaE and such gorgeous red scarves. This is the Year of the Snake, more specifically, the Wood Snake because other elements combine with the new year’s animal. I think these internet photos are fun and that tablescape is stunning.

Nomad, these are knockouts!! I adore the hem on that Pytheas, and that Orphee is perfect on you with that sweater. :faint:

HE - wow. Mind blown. I love the sweet dreams design. I looked at several of these online and resisted. But this one knocks it out of the park.

This is one of those designs I have contemplated repeatedly, croisette. I love this on you.

Glowworm- you tied this perfectly to show off all the colors. That contrasting white hem makes the scarf. Well played!

Lkb - it is your fault entirely if I fall down the fringed scarf rabbit hole. That first Mumbai, especially, is to die for.

Foxy! Love this on you. Hope all is well in your world :smile:

Jereni - you picked up the scarf that has tempted me most recently. This colorway is similar to other scarves I own, so I have resisted it's siren song - so far anyway. Lovely!

Thank you Awillow!

Barbette, first, the lavender bandana and sweater look gorgeous. Such a beautiful color that is one I typically don’t wear so I admire it heartily. Please, what is the design?
Second, this goes out to @LKBNOLA , too and others who approach plisses with a bit of trepidation. I have several plisses. They wear like IRON and are tough! And while it is true that they can relax after time, I find that they spring back like little slinkies with no trouble, especially if they are folded neatly and placed in their round boxes after use and if needed, a bit of airing. The ones I have purchased over several years that had tight pleats still have them. Only two have pretty relaxed pleats but they were received that way and were great deals. I only have one now. Even a relaxed plisse can look good and can be a bit more malleable.

Thanks for the wonderful introduction, Anna. I don't have as much red and gold, but red I do have in abundance. I love today's 140, Tropiques Ponconne, which you enabled. 20250126_095508.jpg❤️
