Infinity Scarves

Scarves are very versatile accessories. They can dress up an outfit. They can add a layer of warmth. And they can show off your personal style.

Most scarves are made with long strips of some kind of fabric. These are open on the ends. But there is a style of scarf where those ends are connected, giving you a tube. These are infinity scarves.

They can be warm...

(Like these from Chewsy By Design and Simpletruths.)  

Or fine...  

(Like these from Murielle Knitwear and Ardent Reverie.)

Or textured...  

(Like these from It's me, Mary and Button Tree.)

Or something that makes a statement...

(Like these from Nikifashion and foothill fibers n' photo.)

Whatever they are, they are not your typical scarf.

Whims-knit-cals

There are some strange people on etsy. (Yeah, I'm one of them. I can admit this.) As I was flailing about for a topic for today, I found something that made me laugh.

It's a soda can cozy from Handamade. Too cute.

As I perused Handamade's shop, it occurred to me that other CCCOE'ers must have the sort of off-the-wall items that would amuse me, so I went looking. Here are a few things I found...


Skull and crossbones knitting tools? Designs by Tami has all sorts of fun things, but these stitch markers and point protectors stood out.

I continued to browse around, and I found this...

He's a crocheted Mini Mummy Monster, and he's by Giggles. He's too cute!

I felt a Halloween theme developing, so I looked around for some things more in tune with summer. That's when I saw these bracelets...

...from It's Me, Mary. These are shiny and glittery. They're the perfect crocheted accessory for summer.

And finally, I end this with one last jewelry item, a knit...

...and the thought that perhaps I shouldn't leave coming up with my post theme until the absolute last minute. Although, there were things I stumbled across that I might not otherwise have found. There is so much out there to find. Thanks for joining me.

Lemon, Lime & Pomegranate ~ wonderful colors and flavors for summer !

Still life with Guava and Lemon by KevinInmanArt

Kevin Inman Art from San Diego describes this oil on canvas as "the fixings for a top shelf guavarita." In case like me you may not know what a guavarita is, I found out that it is like a Margarita but with guave. Sounds great, I'll have to try one !

Lime green & purple bracelet by itsmemary

This hand crocheted beaded bracelet is from it's me, Mary in Orange County. The description says : "This is a great bohemian style, beaded bracelet for a casual day or a night out! It can be made bigger or smaller by pulling the strands through the adjustable knot."

Green Blush by NessysNest

A gorgeous print from Nessy's Nest in Southern California. This flower has a beautiful lime green color. An 8x10 print of an original photograph printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper with a lustre surface.

Bathing in Luxury is from San Francisco. This one sounds delicious! "A blend of pomegranate and yuzu (Japanese citrus, like a grapefruit). The greener yuzu scent tones down the sweetness of the pom. Colored with mineral pigments and clay."
