4.0 out of 5 stars Clear, easy to follow, April 10, 2000

By A Customer

I have a few different books on how to tie scarves and found this one to be the best. It is easy to follow, good pictures, and some great ways to wear scarves without alot of time spent to get it to look right. If you have some scarves and need ideas, I would get this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars This book needed a good editor, October 25, 2000

By A Customer

I think this book needed a good editor. Some of the directions are not clearly written. I'm a writer, and even I had a hard time deciphering some of the text. Illustrations are somewhat helpful, but the layout is confusing. It's not always easy to tell which illustration goes with which step. It would have been better to include photos of hands folding the scarves.

Some of the tying methods are nice -- traditional and classic techniques that I can wear to the office. But a lot of them are kind of weird -- even outdated-looking. I can't see going to work with three huge scarves braided together with pearls. Some of the techniques have a funky '70s disco look, but I guess that's in style.

Also, the author includes options for only a couple of sizes of scarves -- most of them quite large.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good reference!, March 6, 2003

By	Candace Mack "cmmack" (Mauldin, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I liked a lot of the ideas! It shows some unique ways to tie various shaped scarves. I have many scarves that I never wore because I didn't have a clue how to tie them, and this book has helped greatly. Be sure to get a scarf ring! Some neat ideas include using beads or pearls wrapped or braided into the scarf!
