Some time ago I acquired this beautiful cerise plisse version of Aux Pays d'Epices. I had been looking for one in a brighter colourway and this fitted the bill, although I would still like a flat one really;-) Anyway as today was a slow autumnal day I decided to hunt this plisse out and have a play with it:-
 |
| The full scarf. |
 |
| Circles containing details of spices etc.. encircle the design. |
 |
| Lots of dried spices and nuts (nutmeg?) make up the design. |
 |
| I think it's a pretty colourway. |
 |
| Just wrapped around with the tails tucked inside. |
 |
| Butterfly knot with scarf ring. |
 |
| Butterfly knot with scarf ring and a
single knot.
|
 |
A single knot tied using only the very edges
of the hem to get this effect
|
 |
Scarf ring used to loop the scarf
ends through to make a bow.
|
 |
Here I slightly lengthened the bows
by pulling them out a bit more - and
you can just see the ring here too.
|
 |
| Half bow knot with scarf ring. |
 |
Just playing here to see what works I folded
the scarf across the middle and tied as per a
Cossack - it felt a bit bulky but if you want a
warm neck or cowl collar look this would
work well!!
|
 |
Again purely playing - this is folded as if you had a
90cm folded in half on the square (not diagonal)
then I put it round my neck and pulled the ends
through a ring - just like the a-symmetrcial knot the
only difference being I didn't fold opposite corners
to make a diagonal before putting round my neck.
A bit flouncy but if that's a look you want it works.
|
 |
| Friendship Knot |
 |
This is a single knot tied in the front of the scarf
before putting round the neck. I have hidden the
ends inside the roll and tied them together inside
the roll to stop them falling out
|
 |
| The 2 ring slide which works well. Hope you like some of the ideas here! |
