I’m calling it – I’m officially BACK and not sick at all! Even if I’m not, maybe acting like it will force the last tiny germs to take flight? (I think I can hear their little voices yelling as they run away right now. Yep – that’s them… I think… )

I figured an easy something cozy was finally in the works this morning and I got to finish up my plans for my lovely infinity scarf from last year. Turns out I could make it, but I couldn’t make it comfortable, or “not wrinkly” or easily look good. All three things being important parts of my usual wardrobe – though I do tend to hold lightly to the wrinkly bit. The scarf just frustrated me until I saw something at one of my local stores that I figured might help.

Someone had the brilliant idea to attach a light linen-weight scarf to the side of a chunky knit scarf. Two-for-One. Perfection! You CAN have cozy and a pretty print at the same time. So I folded up my lovely piece of Liberty and un-stashed my perfect shade of light coral-ly pink knit and then they sat… for months… until today. It was finally the perfect project to do when feeling slightly under the weather. Lots of pins and a couple of straight lines of sewing can’t be messed up easily, and thankfully for me it went well. I decided to encase the pre-hemmed Liberty fabric edges with the knit, sort of like self-binding a quilt.

Now the whole thing is even more super-soft and has a bit more weight, so it lays better when I put it on. It is also a perfect weight for a warmer winter day, and I can imagine it being a perfect early-spring jacket scarf. I might even take it into the Fall knowing me, colour knows no season over here. White belts year-round for everyone! (Within reason of course!)

Anyone else feel like they go through winter hiding in scarves and trying to forget that it’s -15 degrees (Celcius) outside? I’m not a winter person and was definitely super glad to go inside after the photos!
