Which one is your favorite?! 🧶✨

I honestly can’t decide—there are SO many good ones in this roundup! I would love to know which mini scarf you would cast on first.

Also… are you a one-skein project lover, or do you prefer bigger knits? I feel like I go back and forth depending on the season.

Amber you look so pretty! Your hair style, earrings, lipstick and that bright color top are stunning on you! Enjoyed the knitting ideas too!😆

Oh my gosh! Your hair is awesome!! You’re all ready for spring ❤. Love the episode!

Omg I love this episode. I need a bandana in every color I have for every season. Thank you so much for doing the legwork ❤ One can never have too many for style and a slight chill indoors. And it's handy to pull my hair off my face. ❤

I’m stopping less than a minute into this podcast. Wow Amber, your natural hair color and wearing this amazing top - you are GLOWING!😊

I’m all prepped and ready to start the pressed flowers. Thank you for all your research. I “might” try to go through the entire list to use up my single skeins that are collecting dust in my stash.

Wonderful selection, Amber. Great job, as always.

The Popple Bandana is very appealing, as is the Pressed Flowers; or the Italian Summer Scarf for something slightly bigger. Thank you for all the patterns mentioned. Enjoying seeing your hair transition. I’m a fellow soft summer with now full silvery greyish hair.

I’d like to try the Foretoken . I want to learn how to knit the I-cord edging, but don’t really want to buy the Sophie scarf pattern. I also like the Nataly scarf and the Simple Thing. Thanks for sharing your bundle. They are all really nice scarves!

Again thank you for all your round up episodes!

While I do not wear small scarves myself, I do make them for other people. Though it is a paid pattern, the Rabea scarf is a wonderfully fun knit and makes a lovely gift. These free patterns are such a good resource! Thank you!

Thanks for this roundup! I bought 2 mini skeins of Miss Babs yarn at a pop up during our LYS yarn crawl last year. Saving it for..... And now, I've decided - the pressed flowers kerchief! I'm going to knit it longer than the pattern states - more rows between decreases - to make it more an obtuse triangle and longer, more scarf-like.

These are really nice little scarfs. Great episode.
Thank you so much!
