A good friend had a birthday recently and I wanted to make her a little something to mark the day. She loves to wear scarves and I thought she'd like an infinity scarf.
I used the directions from the Anna Maria Horner Figure 8 scarf... but instead of using velveteen, I used voile on both sides.
Voile is such a lovely fabric: Lightweight, soft and with a silky feel.
Silly me had no idea how to pronounce 'Voile' when going into one of my local fabric stores... but figured that it must have a fancy pronunciation for such a fancy fabric. So there I was asking for where they stocked their 'Vwaaahhl'. Of course the lady looked at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears. Lesson learned: Voile is pronounced like foil, but with a V. Which sounds nowhere near as sophisticated in my northern English accent :)))
Hope you are having a lovely weekend,
Sam

I think that picture is adorable!! LOL. Beautiful scarf, it will be well loved.
i like the idea of voile for both sides - i'll bet it's so drapey and flowy. and you know i love that solid back color :)
Beautiful scarf, Sam! I made the Figure 8 scarf for my MIL for Christmas, but I'd love to make a full voile scarf, too. I wasn't sure how to pronounce voile, either :) Super cute pic of Naomi!
That is a lovely scarf Sam! And Naomi is ready for the cover of a magazine. Love her pose :-)
