Five years ago, the manager of the East Hampton Calypso generously taught me how to tie this Love Quote scarf knot the way that Calvin Klein had taught her. It's a particularly good looking knot peeking out from your Barbour jacket or worn just with a big wrap sweater in the fall. Noooot so much with dirty, wrinkly khakis and one's competing popped collar...
Kindness of Babe, for manning the camera and wisely steering clear of any closeups of my makeup less face, Lolly, for always being a natural in the spotlight and, General Hahnahninnahnad Pilgie, for juggling the overseeing and underwriting of the whole production and being my lone studio audience...XXOO
Ooh, great start to the week. Am looking forward to this, love scarves and interesting ways to tie them. Must go practice this one!
ReplyDeleteWatch out, Mai Tai! Who can compete with such a cute assistant?
ReplyDeleteI will definitely try your Calvin Klein method. Thanks!
LOVE it!!! First: scarf week ... I am in stitches. And I am loving your blog. More puleaze!!! You at such a hoot and so chic too. Happy Monday!!! Xoxo- BLC
ReplyDeleteThank you! Can't wait to practice.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your voice! I often wonder what my blogland friends sound like and you did not disappoint. ;-)
Excellent, I am hopeless at scarf tying, off to learn, will I need a notebook?

ReplyDeleteYou are now immortalized on my Pinterest board Thank you for sharing! :-). xo
ReplyDeleteGreat and simple tie! I love Love Quotes scarves, such a nice weight and so many great colors.
ReplyDeleteLOve that! Have you seen the "sartorialist" knot? It's my new fave. The clip i saw was a total of six seconds long, and i had to freeze frame it to figure it out. but it looks very cool.
ReplyDeleteOMG, You are so cute! I love scarf week!
ReplyDeletedo i spy a wahoo tie in the background? loves it. and you're so darling, i love your vlog!!
ReplyDeleteFun to watch you (all) come to life!! I think you should have a weekly video feature -- so fun! And the tip is great, too. Will try it today (that is, if I get out of these yoga pants...).
ReplyDeleteLoved hearing your voice and seeing the kitties including a very animated assistant. Two thumbs way up!
ReplyDeletei love this as an alternative to the standard european loop!
ReplyDelete(a quick aside: the video! OH MY GOD YOU ARE TOO CUTE!)
cute post, thanks for sharing - how to tie that scarf correctly is a great skill to have!
ReplyDeleteSo that's what you sound like!!! It's good to hear your voice, since we all feel like we know you so well.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf knot works perfectly and lets some air in! Thank you. Jon loved Lolly 'helping'.
Warmly, K
MORE great videos.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Although I am disappointed on your behalf that you are still up north, I am excited for my scarf-loving self that you have decided to celebrate 'scarf week.' And I echo everyone's comments re how fun it is to see you on video!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! A new scarf tying trick to try! Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteWait! Are you gorgeous or what! Also the painting behind you is a nice commentary on what you're doing:).
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing this, I grabbed a scarf, tied it as you instructed, and stylishly went about my day. A gentleman friend of mine saw the knot and said, "that's a clove hitch knot!"(an old sailor's knot apparently), and I said, "no, no, it's Calvin Klein". Either way, I love it!
