[JRTgal]

Thank you all for making last week so riveting! I was entranced by the new formats ,as yet I have none to share but seeing those maxitwillies made me want to dive into H to try!


Love me a bright , and this Concours d'Etriers shawl is just the ticket for the chilliness of our weather .
Off to Kew Gardens for the day so shall try to post some brights from there later:bulb:

Lovely!

Dear Scarfies, a contribution to Brights week: my Jonques et Sampans (Françoise de la Perrière ). I find the turquoise quite bright and I find this scarf quite hard to match with clothes. Note to self: may have made tactical error, should have used this scarf for upcoming ships, boats, sailing theme week???

Pudfish...I LOVE this pattern and particularly in turquoise...I'm a turquoise-aholic. Perfect with your stripes and cardigan. Adorable flower snaps!

Dear bunnycat, AnnaE, VitaminaH, scholastician, Pudfish, Momasaurus and Bova123...thank you for all the Pavois love.

Here is my one bright scarf (Zebra Pegasus), tied two ways - the first is the Chou-Chou and the second is my wobbly attempt at the ***. (Thanks to arabesque's knot tutorials!)

Joannadyne, it's perfect tied with your beautiful top!

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)!

Canuck, my twin, I miss the summer too. Will wear mine tomorrow.

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!

So pretty, as always, bunnycat!

Please try again, Croisette. I cleared it out.

I really have not found a way to keep some old messages. I make folders that keep disappearing. Anyone have a solution to this? ullhair:ullhair:ullhair:

Just returned from Kew with a couple of photos taken in the Waterlily House .
The lilies were are their best . Wore my fleece jacket with Legende Moghole pointu.
I was pleased with my amateurish photos because I love the way Victorian ironwork of the roof is reflected in the water
So freezing cold we stayed in the various glasshouses all day.
