I always wear a scarf or cowl. Always. I like this springy one. I made it with some Denyse Schmidt fabric and some linen.
In order to see the scarf, I had to stand on my toes, which makes for a blurry picture.
And here, I am standing on a stool with my bum on the doorknob. Not so comfortable. Too far away. Oh, and I think I forgot to turn on the light.
Okay, maybe this one is not so bad....
I even asked my four year old daughter to take a picture for me, but she wanted to be in the picture instead.Boy, that was hard.
This scarf is for you, Well, one of you anyway.
Just leave a comment, nothing fancy. A hello will do.
Happy Monday.

Lovely scarf! Thanks for going to all the effort to take the photo :-)
Happy Monday to you also. Love your daughter in the photo :)
Good photos are hard to get with lighting issues & such. Good thing we have digital cameras these days - can you imagine getting all that film developed??
I've been trying to do the same thing and resorted to a teddy bear to model for me!
really really beautiful! I love the spring color combo!
Lovely scarf! And yes, taking photos of oneself is a real pain - although it helps htat my new camera has a timer, but I still have to take a zillion pics. I ordered some scarves off of ebay and find I am wearing them a LOT - they keep me very warm now....

In fact, I know. I have tried to photograph wearing scarf once before. It is super hard. That scarf is beautiful and I would love to be the lucky one. :))
I love that scarf! The fabric combo is so pretty together. :o)
I love the scarf, thanks for offering to give it away.
I always look at people who wear scarves and think "I should wear a scarf" - I love the way they look and how they can accentuate something else you are wearing. I have been thinking about making some for myself for about 3 months now.... I guess it really wouldn't take that long.... measurements?
Sometimes you just have to love the amusing little stories of our lives. Happy Monday.
What a wonderful scarf. Do you have a pattern for it? I'd love to try and make one!
love the scarf. and the pictures are great too!
I think it's a lovely scarf. And, here is an admission from me to you. I have never owned a scarf. Yes, you heard me. I have lived in Houston all my life and though it can get cold here, usually, it's only cold enough for a scarf in December and January. This year, it's been in the 30's in Feb. Chilly. So, I'd love to own your scarf! My daughter wears them every day she can get away with it, so I might have to fight her for it, if I win it.
Such a pretty scarf! As I read your post and saw the pictures I was thinking what a great idea, such a fun and easy project to do. I'll definitely have to add it to my list of things to make.
Lovely scarf and pictures.
Wow, so generous! I could really use a scarf right about now, and that one's really cute! The photo with your daughter is by far the best one. =)
That's a great idea for a scarf, like someone else mentioned, a pattern would be very welcome!
I love the last picture with your little girl in the background.
The scarf looks so comfy and so cute. Is this a giveaway?
Happy Monday!
Love the scarf; love the pictures; love the story behind the pictures!
You're inspiring me to sneak off to the sewing machine!
The scarf is very cute! Love the orange and green!
Very pretty and yes, it is really hard to take photos of yourself in the mirror isn't it. I really enjoy your knitting adventures and marvel at how productive you are!
Gorgeous scarf - and really you did well photographing it with a door knob in the bum lol.
happy monday to you too, except it is tuesday here....lovely scarf..
How pretty!! Those fabrics you chose are so perfectly springtimey and pretty. I also find scarf photos to be difficult to take...I can never seem to get the whole thing in the frame. You did a good job though...the one with your daughter is adorable! I can tell that you're smiling behind the camera.
Love the colors! Love the scarf! I have been dreaming of spring alot lately. Today it is snowed all day again and it was -28 below when I had to send my kids to school brrrrrrr.
i think you did a wonderful job with the pictures. i love seeing all that you make and your beautiful home. have a great day!
Hello and how is that sweater pattern going? Looking forward to seeing a lot more of Springy things soon. stevekellidd@yahoo.com
Beautiful scarf! Nice fabric! Always hard to take a good photo of oneself ;-)
Thank you for the chuckle!!!! Beautiful scarf I wear one all of the time too!
Hello and thanks for putting your bum on the doorknob just to show us a pretty scarf!
XO,
Rhea
What a nice gift to share! I always lurk around your blog... you make such beautiful items and your home is so inspiring. :) Thanks for sharing!

☺ hello! ☺ Love it!!!
Pretty scarf!
It is super hard to take a photo of yourself wearing a scarf! I do love how yours turned out!
good photos are so tricky! I think the answer is timers. Have you been to the blog called What I wore today? This really creative woman takes pictures of the outfits she wears and her photography is great. She has blogged about how she does it. But even with difficulties - great scarf.
I need a tutorial on how to take pictures of projects on myself for my blog. Never turns out right. Yours, ended up adorable with your little girl peaking out from behind you.
I hadn't thought of making a scarf with some of my fabrics. I'm going to have to have a play with that idea.
I, too, am a 'scarf person', and that is a beautiful scarf that you have made.
By the way, would that be a Francis Revisted sweater that you are wearing? I am currently knitting the sweater (inspired by your recent blog posts about the pattern). It is my first sweater. . . scary and exciting all at the same time!
Are you serious?! That GORGEOUS scarf for one of us!? Wow! Thank you! And thanks for continuing to inspire me with your beautiful work.
Love the linen, love the green, love the photo-taking-effort
Peekaboo Anna!
I ADORE that last picture. Too, too cute.
Well, I missed Happy Monday, so Happy Tuesday!! Your scarf is so pretty...the colors do make me think of Spring, which can't get here soon enough!!
Thanks for trying so hard to get the picture for us! The scarf says 'spring' even though the weatherman says more snow!!
Cute scarf and cute pictures!
Great colors love it.
Very cute! You're going to be so proud of me. This morning I finally made it to a knitting group and learned to cast on I'm practicing my rows! How long have I been saying that I want to learn? Pretty much inspired by you! Thanks! This is so fun!
you are adorable.
bum on doorknob. ha! :)
LOVE the scarf.... but since i have already won a beautiful creation from you, it is someone else's turn... so please don't enter me.
i'm sold on sewn scarves that is...i wear knitted ones but this one looks so cool!
Love the scarf! I've made lots of flannel ones with frayed edges----so warm and cozy.

Love your scarf. I like how it flips to the colorful segment.
I had the same problem photographing my Ulmus. I held my arms out as far as possible and took a picture of myself. It makes my shoulders hunch up but it worked well enough.
So nice! I love that you used linen...such a nice combo.
Happy Monday! Beautiful scarf.
Very cute!
::HELLO::
apples!! the scarf is so...happy, so self-assured. "spring is just around the corner," it says. "lets go catch it!"
Oh my that's beautiful...I just love linen.
Love coming to your site for simple inspiration. Lovely scarf!
Cute scarf and cute photograph session. :) Is it springtime yet? The scarf reminds me of it, and I'm hoping it's just around the corner (especially after shoveling a five foot wall of snow = no fun).
It's a beautiful scarf...and anything that reminds me of spring sounds good right now! We're on our third blizzard of the winter!
Oh...the scarf makes me feel like spring!
gee it really is hard to take a picture of yourself wearing a scarf- but i am glad your photographer snuck in in photo instead!!! too cute!
Love the scarf but I really, really love the Christina sweater! Wish I was even a little decent at knitting. I. is. lovely.
Lovely scarf. It certainly translates spring to me - the colours are amazing. Love the expression of your daughter ;o)
Love the scarf with those beautiful fabrics!
