Cascade knot ~ how-to

As promised, here is the how-to video for the 'Cascade knot'

Fold your scarf into a triangle, place around your shoulders and follow the video instructions below:





The Cascade knot is perfect for:

70 scarves
90 dip dyes
90 jerseys
90 PM mousselines



I will be away for a few days, celebrating my upcoming 50th birthday tomorrow...  looking forward to catching up with you mid May.

 Until then, have fun knotting!

    Dear Mai Tai,
    Wishing you a very happy Birthday and I hope you receive lots of lovely pressies (especially those in orange boxes!). I took delivery of my very first Hermes scarf a few days ago and I'm already deciding which one of your beautiful scarf rings I shall buy. Have a fab time away! Kindest Regards, Jo.

    Maitai!
    A very happy birthday to you! I know you will celebrate in style with your loved ones ad hope you have the bestest of time!
    I have to say there is a certain picture of you laughing on the icy way to your post box with a lovely shawl (Sunday, January 10, 2010)and I always thought you don't look a day older than 25 on it. It wasn't long ago and you haven't changed a bit. If this is what getting older looks like, then I don't mind!
    Wishing you good health, joie de vivre et beaucoup d'orange!

    Hi MaiTai, just wanted to say that I am finding real inspiration in your capsule wardrobe posts, which I find myself checking in on, then opening up my wardrobe and putting together lovely outfits which I had not thought about before. Great styling! Thank you os much for putting these together! I understand its your birthday - best birthday wishes. Both my children, now 13 and 15, are Taurus, they love luxury and beauty - classic Taurus - so we are in birthday mood in our home - much celebrating and fun! Do enjoy.

    Happy Birthday dear MaiTai! I hope you have a wonderful time away and are thoroughly spoilt with lots of H and champagne! Looking forward to seeing the photos afterwards.

    And thank you so much for generously offering to identify my lovely shawl; I will send you a couple of photos and if you have a moment would love to know what you think.

    And I agree - you don't look a day over 25!

    Happy Happy Birthday dearest MaiTai! You know we share the same birthyear and so my 50th is around the corner as well. Although I rarely write in, due to my new position (yay, finally!) as a UC professor in the OC, I do check your blog faithfully. You are and always will be a great inspiration to me, and so, my dear, dear "birthday sister," I'm sending a big hug and my fondest wishes for a wonderful 50th year.

    Thank you so much everyone for the lovely good wishes for my birthday, the sweet compliments and warm and kind comments!

    I had the most wonderful time away and one of the happiest birthdays ever, celebrating with DH in beautiful Venice . It could not have been lovelier or more magical, and I hope you'll enjoy the upcoming travelogues.

    Turning 50 is a milestone indeed, and I look forward to gradually adapting my style... towards a timelessly chic and stylish ‘femme d’un certain age’! I hope you’ll enjoy exploring the journey with me.

    Warmest hugs and ‘joyeux anniversaire’ to all 1963 birth year twins (can’t believe how many were are!), and a very happy birthday to all fellow Taurus'. Much love, hugs and kisses to you, and all of you other lovely ladies too xx

    Happy belated Birthday, dear MaiTai! My DH is a fellow 1963er and is turning 50 this July! You seem to have had a blast in Venice, my dream some day...Thanks for the ring, it's perfect and my first one yet! I am having a great time knotting, it's so easy now.
