Thanks moma! Most of the scarves in these pics are the same knot (fold in 4 length-wise, tie two sides together at one end, place round neck and pull other untied length through "loop". The jacquard came out nicest though, I agree!
Re book, a lady called Geneviève Fontan contacted me a few months ago on the PF to say she was writing a book called CARRES D'ART SUITE 7, due out in November (she has written 6 more, I guess), and that she was "able to penetrate the myths surrounding the creation of this square. It is a long and exciting story.....". As you can imagine, I am intrigued!! So, I would hazard a guess that it is indeed a history lesson in silk. [emoji38]
