Welcome back, dear MYH! What a cool knot with a 70 and a 90!Now that I'm finally back from my trip, I can play in my scarf drawer and contribute to this thread! On theme with a layered cowboy knot today. Using Flots du cheval and la Mer au Ciel. Kind of busy but I think it works.sorry for bad pic quality. I'm still trying to figure out where the light is best in my new house.

to Rosamonde, ElainePG and BirkinMary for all their creative braiding, pairing an overall inspiration! You ladies rock!So I've played in my scarf drawers for a few minutes (a lovely break from what has been an insane work and travel schedule) and I've decided to pair L'Arbre de Vie and Au Coeur de la Vie. Similar names and turquoise accents, with some pinks.
The knot is pretty loose and cozy, and I think I'll try it again on colder days!http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/

And because I'm hogging your screens today, here is an off-theme scarf picture, of my Licorne GM and me at a wedding

rosamonde, what a great pairing, how did you tie the scarves in the second photo? They look so cozy.Ladies, I thought I would see what happened by combining the same scarf in two different colorways.
Alas, I think these CWs of Qu'Importe le Flacon are too similar to even look like it's two different scarves.
Does anyone else have the same scarf in a couple of different CWs? It would be interesting to see photos of those combined a la the week's theme!
HI Cherryblossum! Thank you! I actually have two pics!
I took a pic of what I did with the 2 twilly's the other day (though only one claims illustrious H parentage, LOL)
They did go together nicely, I think. They are just twisted together gently so that each one shows its colors and tied in a quick knot. (I live in a very hot climate and so large scarves don't make a lot of sense for me except in fall/winter, but I love my little bandeaux and twilly type scarves because they don't take up so much neck real estate and are fun all year round.)Also, I was reading through the thread and earlier someone showed the trick of tying the wrist knot, so I had to try that today also and took a pic while waiting for hubby so we could go cabinet shopping. It works like a charm. I'd have never thought to do that around the wrist, though I use that pass through all the time on neck scarves.
The H scarf in both pics is Bouclerie D'Attelage twilly.
Thanks for letting me join in! I hope to do so again soon!

Love the double twilly twist! Thanks for sharing.
Hello, I4H! Thank you for asking!
I folded each scarf on the bias, twisted them around each other, tied all four ends together, and then did an "infinity" wrap around my head--that is, I just placed the open loop around my neck, twisted it once upon itself so that I now had two loops in an 8 shape, and then put the second loop also around my head. Puff, fluff, and go.

Super-cute! You look especially chic with the wrist tie.
I know just what you mean about living in a hot climate...I can wear my 90 carres only 5 or 6 months out the year, and probably it should be only 4!Thanks for sharing your pix. It's nice to see another format besides the squares!
Thank you, cherryblossum. I bought Les Muserolles in 1986, the year it came out, and to my knowledge it hasn't been reissued. It really is one of the "old style" Hermès designs, isn't it? The scarves from this century look nothing like it! I've only recently come back to buying Hermès scarves (until a few months ago, I hadn't purchased one since 1993!) and I was just amazed at how the designs had changed so radically in twenty years!
I'm just blown away by your incredible colorways, birkinmary. The mix of greens in Marwari + Tresors Retrouves makes me think of the month of May, when some of the leaves are still in their early "Springtime" green and other leaves, which get more of the sun, have already darkened to their summer richness.
I love the way you use one scarf to make the wrap around the other one. Do you also do that when you are wearing them? I keep studying your photos, and trying to figure out how to make it work IRL, but I can't figure out the trick...
I know, right? Now that it's getting out in the
I can't believe I had ever thought of selling it!How pretty, cherryblossum. And as far as I'm concerned, your bias fold looks just right! One of the things I've learned from Mai Tai's blog is that all these years I've been making my bias fold too thin. I mean, sometimes a thin bias fold is fine, but with some patterns, it looks better if it's "plumped up" a bit. That's what you did with your two scarves, and it looks just lovely.
