Merry Merry!

Today's post is short and sweet, as I am still not finished with preparations and have a lot on my to-do list left. But at least it comes with a new knot as a little holiday gift (you can find the video tutorial at the bottom of this post). 

The Ondulation will be added to the Scarf Art app in the next update (around Dec 29) and includes an in-depth blog post with tips and variations in addition to the interactive video tutorial.

The wrapping theme this year consists of snow-white paper with raspberry, silver, and gold-colored ribbons and decorations.

A glimpse into the app... for each knot you get an illustration that shows you which part of the scarf is highlighted. For the Ondulation, the main focus is on three triangles along the scarf's border. The corner of the opposite side gets worked into the pleated section around your neck. Most of the center design and the upper part gets hidden behind your neck or in the surrounding folds:

You can also explore variations for each knot which include instructions on how to achieve them (here with a Hermes Carré Kantha 90 silk twill scarf) 

Hope you have a wonderful end of the year, and I am looking forward to seeing you in the New Year. 

2020 has been challenging for most, so here's to a better and brighter 2021 filled with joy, happiness, and good health 🥂

Gold and rust, after all

Having said in my last post that I preferred bright jewel colors over the warm shades I usually wear at this time of year,  I have to admit that this month's dazzling display of fields and leaves turning gold, brown and red has turned me back to my regular autumn scarves (which were practically begging to be taken out of the drawer).

My pink coat gets a rest until winter sets in, by which time our second lockdown should have ended. We are halfway through, with two more weeks to go. I am truly grateful to live in the countryside with the sense of freedom that the daily walks with my dogs give me. Hope everyone is healthy, safe, and in good spirits despite the challenges that 2020 brings us.

The shape of the fence and the colors behind reminded me of my "Cents Plis de Miao" Hermes 90 scarf, here in the basic bias fold (the scarf even features a pony, see below). Also by Hermes: Kelly Double Tour bracelet in ebene. MaiTai Collection long gemstone (here), gemstone bracelet in taupe (here) and amethyst charm bracelet (here). Nudo ring by Pomellato (here) and coat by Majestic Filature (here)

The Cent Plis de Miao's bejeweled pony features an amethyst and green gemstone bead,

and is a perfect introduction for the new amethyst gemstone bracelet (all gemstone charm bracelets are back in stock):

The "Les Cuirs de Desert" Hermes 90 scarf is another autumn favorite of many years. Here in a Bib knot with a MaiTai Collection long gemstone in Agate/Citrine/Tiger's Eye (here). Bracelets as before.

As above, but with a Hermes "Carré en Carré" 90 scarf the basic bias fold and the gemstone necklace with a vieux d'or colored tassel (here)

Variation with a dark teal sweater instead of the beige and the "Les Cuirs de Desert" Hermes 90 scarf tied as before. Necklace and bracelets as above.
