GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!
*update: someone purchased a cream and cranberry colored scarf so the winner of this giveaway can pick ANY colors listed in my etsy shop for their scarf (including cream and cranberry still!)*
30 million youtube viewers cant be wrong: the only thing greater than a rainbow is a DOUBLE RAINBOW! with that logic in mind, i give you the double braided scarf:
cream and cranberry. full of double braidy goodness.
when i was first trying to hack the original braided scarf, i had a fleeting thought: "what if the closure could be a braid too?" but i didn't even entertain it seriously. i couldnt begin to tackle that as i swam through dozens of photos trying to find a way to depict creating just the basic single braided scarf.
i cast it aside as impossible, an m.c. escher impossible structure in fabric form. but then a reader, brandy, asked in the comments of the tutorial if there was a way to do it. so i had to at least try. and after some brain-bending and neuron melting and considerably more effort than the single braid, it was done!
since a bunch of folks have commented or emailed about skipping the sewing and purchasing the scarves already made, i decided to make the double-braids for selling rather than doing a tutorial for them right away. you can now find the listing for your own custom double-braided scarf in my etsy shop.
but wait there's more.
in honor of this new creation i am going to give away the very scarf pictured above to one of you!

yes, this is a thinly veiled attempted to lure out the lurkers (you know i love a reformed lurker!) and ensnare new folks. that's what giveaways are for, right?
good luck! giveaway will end tuesday night and i will do a reminder blast on monday for those of you who must have more of a social life than me and don't spend weekends on mommy blogs.
i tweeted about this fantastic deal, and i already follow you on twitter sooo double points?! or do i need to unfollow and refollow? i'd do it. i for real want this scarf.
ReplyDeletereally like that etsy shop, mrs. dukes! (finally getting in the habit of calling you that after a bazillion years.)
ReplyDeleteoh man, i lurve the scarfy weather for many, many reasons. one of the top reasons is definitely the high frequency of bonfires! the smell that lingers in your hair and clothes is just smokey goodness :)
ReplyDeleteyou are a stickler for things, so just in case, i unfollowed and refollowed. i'm a weirdie.
ReplyDeleteI was a lurker, now I'm a follower :)
ReplyDeleteand I should have read the whole post to see I could try and win the scarf but I already placed my order...I'm just not that patient. (but if I win I'll give as a present!)
I'm a new lurker! Have been a follower for a bit, but now I'm a commenter, too!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted about this giveaway! (@courageandcurls)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to include my favorite thing about scarfy weather in the 1. Be a Follower entry, so I'll do it here--
I love the way a scarf looks good dressed up or down, and scarfy weather means the good food of Thanksgiving and the late-night chili is on its way!
I hearted the Etsy shop! My name is turtledovecrafts!

ReplyDeletei love this! and i'm following you! :)
ReplyDeletei love scarfy weather, because at the end of a long day i can take my cold hands and cold feet and climb under the covers and snuggle with my husband who is always at least 30 degrees warmer than i am.
ReplyDeleteon those same lines, i now love having my 6 week old daughter fall asleep on my chest as a mini-heater. she warms my heart inside and out. somehow the cooler weather makes the warmth that much more precious.
i hearted {?} you on etsy! ;)
ReplyDeletei'm following you on pinterest!

ReplyDelete4) I already hearted your shop... so I actually hearted the braided infinity scarf as a favorite item! Holy smokes, you offer so many colors... you. da. bomb.
ReplyDeleteFirst, love love love the double braid. Okay just to be honest my favorite thing about scarf weather at the moment is that all clothes are bulky and hide my post baby flabbiness. And it makes drinking hot coffee that much more enjoyable. Ahhh.
ReplyDeleteI am a very new follower... within a week or so? and I love walking in the leaves :-) Fall is my favorite time of year (oh and it's my birthday) Love the colors on that scarf!
ReplyDelete3) I BLOGGED about your giveaway and left tres links... ya, you deserve it! Just my bonus... adding an extra looks from my giant band of followers (not) ;-)

ReplyDeleteI so want to win this! You know that if I can barely make one braid, there's no way I can do two. I already follow your bloggy. And my favorite thing about scarfy weather? It's a way to make my boring outfits cuter, cooler weather, eating soup, and crunchy leaves!

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it needs to hurry up and be December so I can finally meet you and make you an IRL friend. That seems to be all that's lacking. :)
Ahhhh! You're amazing!! This is awesome. My favorite thing about scarfy weather is the hot beverages that come along with it. Since I work at Sbux, I drink coffee and stuff all year round, but there is something about the cold that makes a hot drink taste SO much better. (And I'm a follower.)
ReplyDeleteAnd also, I tweeted it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hearted it on etsy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I follow you on twitter...
ReplyDeleteFollowed you on Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm a follower...and what's not to love about scarfy weather? My favorite thing about scarves is their to cute-ify otherwise unflattering clothing (like my husband's hooded sweatshirt that I wore to the grocery store yesterday, because it was the only warm thing in our house that actually fit over my huge belly).
ReplyDeleteHow had I not already hearted your Etsy shop? For crying out loud, I put half your items for sale on my universal Amazon baby registry. At any rate, this situation has now been remedied.

ReplyDeleteOkay okay I'll stop lurking! I just found you last week, actually, but have been reading your older posts because we just have lots in common (volleyball players, reformed anti-runners, babies 17 months apart, etc)! I love scarfy weather because it means birthdays and holidays and cozy snuggling (snuggling when it's hot is just not the same).
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Pinterest and I had already pinned the gray and yellow version (single braid). That's how I found you in the first place, btw.
