What a fun pic, scholastician! I love the way the scarves seem to be making their escape. Beautiful colors!Hello lovely scarfies!
I have thoroighly enjoyed seeing your sumptuous silks, and how you have turned them into wearable artI hope it is ok to join in this week's bright theme. The brightest from my collection are both in the MT format - KACHINAS in bouton d'or/mysotis/vert and rose/vert/bleu
Despite pitiful selfie skills (so many trashed photos featuring neck and chin that must belong to someone else, I'm sure of it!) I am determined to try to share something in return of for all the helpful pics I've pored over here.
This is my new-to-me Pavois which I think of as on-theme despite a lack of red/orange/neon, etc. The background is stark white and the whipping flags of turquoise and bright green make me ridiculously happy. Sorry..the pic is GIGANTIC.

Pocketbook Pup, the MaxiTwilly is a fun format and I am glad I finally bought one!
Thank you Vitamina H! - Happy to be enabling!
I am posting this picture for you (Off Topic): Finally the bumblebees and bees are seeking for nectar in the apple blossoms! This was a sunny and rather warm day in the end of May!
Holsby, so marvelous to see your post and gorgeous photo. It was delightful to awaken to a treat of bumblebees and apple blossoms!
You rock this silk sparkle. I think it might be my favorite silk for you.
Gorgeous sparklelisa! I love bright pops of orange in a scarf like that!
I'll get the ball rolling with a crossover. Brazil MT in menthe. That's definitely a pretty saturated and "in your face" kind of green.

Bunny, this mint Brazil is so pretty. I think it is not too bright at all. Love it with the striped shirt (of course)
Very prettily tied Joanna. Gorgeous colorway of zebra!
This is very easy! Instead of tying it like you would to make it in to an infinity scarf just tie it so it has "tails". You should still be able to wrap it a couple of times. It does mostly stay put, but you may have to move it around a little now and then. But if you criss cross (twist) the wraps once you have wrapped it, and make the knot sit on top of the crossed wraps instead of under, it tends to rest there better. Hope that made sense.
The slightly more difficult way to tie it is so the knot is adjustable (which I how I usually do them).
This is start of the adjustable knot I use for most things that are going to have a tail:
Put the other end through so it faces the opposite direction of the tail that has the knot in it:
you can tighten from either side of the knot. If you tighten the tail, you get a longer tail, so if you want less tail, tighten the side that runs up in to the scarf length. That's why I do this knot, because I often goof on how much tail I need (and you don't need a lot)
Stick it over you neck and wrap it! Then gently "braid" the wraps a couple of times to twist the wrap and make sure to place the knot and tail up on the topside.
Thank you for your kind comments!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Hello lovely scarfies!

Love them!!!
Bright Scarf week couldn't have been more perfectly timed - it is a grey, cold and rainy day here. A little Flamingo Party shawl to add some cheer, colour (and warmth)!
The orange, pink and green together rocks Canuck!!!

Holsby, thank you for sharing this photo. I can almost smell the flowers just looking at the screen.
It's gorgeous, Sparklelisab! I am so aware of all the design components on it (feathers! leopard!) after the Julia Abadie week

Bunnycat, this is lovely! Makes me think of mint ice cream...I wish I had some in the freezer right now!
Love your Hapi also.Edit: adding in because I think I missed your tutorial. I must try it with my MT! Thank you so much for detailed instructions.
Joannadyne, gorgeous! Love the green and the pink together. Bright and fresh.

What a great twin photo, Scholastican. Both MTs are lovely.

Oh Canuck, where are you located? The mere thought of cashmere makes me uncomfortable right now, I wish I were somewhere cooler. It's a beautiful shawl, however, and the combination of the pinks with khaki (or is it green?) is very becoming.
JRTGal, this is a beautiful scarf. Wear it in good health.
I have already shown this Amours mousseline, but I mostly wanted to show it together with my DVF Hoya dress in Palace Tiger Red (doesn't the name remind you guys of Tigre Royal?) to double up on the brightness. I may have mentioned I like red
(no worries, the rest of the outfit and makeup was very subdued).As usual, featuring my giant sportswatch because I am basically wearing the thing 24/7 now because of all the training. At least it's red and matches the outfit!
Love your Pavois JRT!

Gorgeous AnnaE! Those look like they were made to go together!

I always think of you when I put on a striped shirt with a scarf! Lovely outfit AnnaE and oh, twins on the market bag!Holsby, thank you for sharing this photo. I can almost smell the flowers just looking at the screen.

I have shied away from the MT format because I've wodered what to do with it...but this tutorial is mighty enabling. Just lovely. Thanks for sharing your expertise, bunnycat!!This is very easy!

Thank you for your kind comments!
Y'all are very welcome! It's only good to give back after all the history and info I read on here! I bet you could also play around with when and how you tie it, like wrap and then tie the tails so they catch one of the wraps, it might increase the stability of this setup. Will have to try that later.
Thank you so much, JRTgal! Your scarf looks so fresh - I love a white background scarf
Thanks, bunnycat! And wow on your scarf skills, I hope I can successfully follow your helpful tying tips.
