"They LIKE it!!! They LIKE it!!!!"

(Channeling Sally Fields: LOL)

I'm so glad that it seems to make sense to everyone.

I thought it might be helpful to share the exact moment when my lightbulb went off, about sewing the one end into a tube and why this is beneficial.  

Here's the picture I asked DH to take, when the lightbulb went off that this was an awesome idea and might bring some happy, happy to others, too:

BTW: I'm leaning against an Italian wall in the village of Lucca.

[This is same tank top & same scarf -- as you can see, pre-sewn-tube concept.]

In this first-ever version I had just tucked one end of the scarf into my wrist compression sleeve and a bit of scarf is stuffed into the shoulder band of my sleeve as well.

At the time, I thought I was totally all glam, with my arm against the pillar for said photo to share with you at a later date.

It wasn't until I downloaded the photos that I realized that the compression sleeve was all exposed and that's when the concept of the tube emerged as an 'up-grade-idea.'

I have been experimenting with scarves for the last month.

Having enough length in the scarf seems to be the real solution -- especially for the body-draping concept. I hope that the illustion gives the impression of just a scarf draped oh so casually across the shoulder (to the on-looker.)

The tube affair is the real camoflage.

As you may be realizing, I am now at the point of wearing just a sleeve for 'everyday' sitting at the theatre events. I still wear gauntlet when doing anything physical, flying etc etc.

I think with enough material in the scarf you could put a little stitch in the very end to create a mitten effect and still hide an entire gauntlet with ease.

BTW. I have met a woman up-here (great arts mecca) whose business is the creation of scaves on the bias etc etc etc. I wanted to see if you gals were interested in the concept, before turning this artie-entreprenuer on to you. Her pieces are one-of-a-kind and I just know that she'd create commissioned LeScarfies for people who needed an 'exact' set of colors for a formal occasion.

Anyhow, I think there's real potential here. Not to get the cart in front of the horse, but I have IDEAS!!!!

"They LIKE it!! They LIKE it!!!

Lago, I will share this information with any organization/entity, that anyone directs me to, where it might be of service.

It was literally yesterday as we drove to the play that I finally, en route, sewed the tube together,  I literally didn't know what it would look like yesterday until I saw it in the photo -- after the fact.

(I have more ideas than I actually bring to fruition.)

I don't think a patent is in order. LOL.

You dear peeps will remember where it all started and will attest to my light-bulb moment.

For even the slightest of craftie folks, it can easily be under-taken in a DIY (do-it-yourself) project mode with a great deal of ease.

I'll go call my scarf-making connection & let her know that the first response is positive.
