"You may also notice the scarf lengths in two colours of crushed velvet in the top picture. They were bought in the Droguerie concession within the same store. Must get the sewing machine out and rustle up a posh scarf for myself. I can see a beaded edging of some sort in my mind's eye."
See, some of my passing notions and lofty plans do come to fruition!
Your eyes are not deceiving you- the two sides of the scarf ARE different colours.Plus, there are subtle colours hiding in the folds of the crushed velvet waiting to be hit by a certain light.
I hand-stitched in the beaded edges because I wanted to make sure they were really secure and machined up the sides, leaving a wee slit unstitched so I could turn it out and hand sew the last wee section.
I love my new posh scarf :-)
P.S. If you haven't had a chance to look at my Californian gift yet, please see the post below.

Scarf looks beautiful - and as for the yarn - Wow!
That's a really gorgeous scarf !
Thanks for popping by my blog - that way I have also found yours with all the lovely scarves, knitting (and sewing!). I'm still getting adjusted to the process of blogging. I forget to take pictures as I am so keen to get on with things, so I will have to learn to slow down a bit and look around me for picture opportunities.
That's a truly beautiful scarf. I'm rediscovering the charms of my sewing machine too.
I've tagged you for the 8 random facts, details on my blog. Hope you enjoy it!
I love your new posh scarf too! It's gorgeous! Assume you'll not make it to Woolfest this year as you haven't mentioned it? Such a shame, as Heather and India are going....can't we persuade you?
Smashing! Embroiderers' Guild folk sell such items for mucho dosh ... so if you fancy a wee sideline!
