Scarves Pretending to be Something Else


When I came up the idea of a scarf making challenge, I never dreamed there were so many different kinds of scarves out there.  I am especially fascinated by scarves that are pretending to be some other mundane item.    I suppose you could make any item out of fabric, stretch it's proportions and call it a scarf.  I wonder if there are any knife and fork scarves, or ears of corn scarves, or skyscraper scarves???
From what I've found so far, I wouldn't be surprised.
So, my lovely Ring Your Neck participants, here is a funny list of pretender scarves:
If you're interested in joining us in our scarf-making adventure, go HERE.

We all need a bit of fun and whimsy in our lives, don't you think?
We might not all need to wear a bacon scarf to prove it though!

Happy crafting and big hugs from Montana,
