Date: 10/11/11 6:09 AM I'm seeing scarves in the stores getting longer and skinnier.
Hooray for a fashion that a short, overweight woman with a short, thick neck can wear without looking like Jaba the Hutt.
I love the beauty of scarves, but didn't have any since all the fashionable scarf shapes and wraps of the recent past looked so bad on me. But a skinny scarf draped low around my neck and knotted just under my bustline ACTUALLY WORKS!

Date: 10/30/11 10:53 AM Current issue just in my mail box of Threads has that mobius scarf KOOS styled featured. Thinking that could be reverse engineered into a narrower look... In the end it is all about proportions.. style the 'trends' into what works for you personally. Why we sew / craft / create ? right?

Date: 10/30/11 11:04 AM I'm currently taking one yard of fabric and making three scarfves. I'm using the wided rolled hem and longer stitches perfect. ------

Date: 11/3/11 1:40 AM I just made 3 infinity scarves from 2 yards of 60 inch fabric and I'm pretty excited about how they turned out. The fabric is a polyester woven, a little heavier than chiffon in a classy print. I cut them 20 x 72, sewed the lengthwise seam, then the remaining crosswise seam. 3 Christmas gifts for less than $3 each! ------

Date: 11/21/11 7:44 AM If you ever have a chance to attend a sewing show/expo where
Nancy Nix-Rice has a booth, she has tons of lightweight polyester skinny scarves and they're priced very reasonably. ( If you are in an ASG chapter, perhaps they can schedule an event with her; ours did and it was great)

Date: 11/22/11 0:13 AM 3KillerBs, you'd be turning hands free cartwheels if you had my sister. She gets bored living out in the country and knits and crochets like crazy. Sent her a big box of yarn thinking it would help her with making gifts for everyone and she has sent me 3 of the skinny scarves! Woo-hoo, I love them. She was a little surprised at how long and how skinny when she asked me for dimensions, but they look great.
Don't wear much more than a nice polar fleece vest for winter and love having the color from the scarf along with the feel of winter that I get from wearing it.
