My Tuesday Rant

I love it when a friend tells me they checked on my blog and left a comment. I rush home, log in to see what they said. Then I find nothing there. I know it is not the friends fault. What is it that Google blogger makes it so hard for people to leave comments. It really needs to be changed. I guess my love is more for the things I create than the computer I type it on. HAHA!

I love to hear from you and am sorry this site is not very user friendly at times. Don't give up on me. Continue to leave comments and maybe some day we will figure it all out. Have a great day!

Fancy Braided Scarf

I can't take credit for this cute way to tie a scarf, I found it on Pinterest. So if you have a Pinterest account search for 40 ways to tie a scarf and find more fun ideas. I had several ladies ask me how to do this so here it is. Remember if you want a bigger view of the picture just click on the picture to make it bigger.

You can use a large square scarf or a long rectangular one like mine. Step 1: Put it around your neck with ends even.
 
Step 2: Start by tying it like you would to tie your shoe. Bring it up to the point where you want the finished scarf to hang. Notice I have the "under" end on my right side. 
 
Step 3: Bring the right over the left.
 
Step 4: Grab that now left side and draw it up under and over the top.
 
 
 
 
Step 5: You can pull this as tight or loose as you like.
 
Repeat Step 3-5 till you get to the end.
 
Now tie it off. And that's it! Your Fancy Braided Scarf is done.
 
And see how much patience my furry friends had while I blogged about it. Thanks for checking in on me. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Have a great day! Linda
