Earlier this summer I was struck with the desire to design and knit a super easy, super cozy, two toned striped scarf. I know, it was a very specific desire, not just a scarf, not just something stripy, I knew exactly what I wanted! Something big and cozy and squooshy, yet lacy! Garter stitch stripes in Green Label Aran weight yarn with eyelet's that looks good on both sides is exactly what I had in mind. I knit most of this scarf at Julie's cottage over the Canada day long weekend. I want the scarf to have the option of being an infinity scarf, so I'm going to sew on fabric covered buttons. I purchased this pretty seabreeze and spearmint floral, thinking that it would make the perfect Granny chic buttons... but now I'm thinking that it's less granny chic and more straight-up Granny. So the search for the perfect fabric continues.
I was thinking of calling this design sea-mint, since I think that they are both pretty words, they are pulled directly from the colourways used in this scarf, and they kind of sound nice together. But sea-mint also sounds a heck of a lot like semen, and I'm kind of immature, so I'm not sure I can live with that. Any suggestions?
This is lovely. What about Mint Breeze for it's name?d
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Why not Mint-Sea?

I need another cup of coffee to generate more names but that's what I got from the first cup. ;o)
How about Ocean Mint or Mint Ocean. No matter what you call it, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBriny Sea-Mint.
ReplyDelete...wait...no.
I was thinking it sounded a lot like cement - and that would definitely not be good for that lovely scarf!
ReplyDeleteHow about:
Minty Goodness
Minty Goddess
The Eye of Mint
Ahoy Minty Mate
Minty Ciel (I know it's not sea, but ...)
On the Wave of Mint
Good luck with the fabric search. I'm certain you'll find just the right thing.
Sailor?
ReplyDeleteWintergreen?
Minthe? (the Greek nymph with a lithp)
My first thought was Seafoam, with all the eyelets.
ReplyDeleteSince you knew what you wanted in the scarf, how about "You Can Always Get What You Want"?
ReplyDeletetoo funny!
ReplyDeleteSince you're going for granny-chic, I think this pattern definitely deserves an old lady name. Like Pearl, or Gladys, or Dolores.
ReplyDeleteHow about Sea Grass?
ReplyDeleteHow about the name Sea Grass?
ReplyDeleteI looked at it and thought "Anemone."
ReplyDeleteMint from the Sea...

Your wrap reminds me of the last time I visited the Bay of Fundy...the colour of the water and the grass on the cliffs, it was so picturesque!
ReplyDeleteSo...my suggestion is Fundy Tide.
The colors remind me of seaglass.
ReplyDeleteSo - my suggestions
seaglass scarf
or
sky & sea
I'm personally fond of one-word names. Here's what I came up with:

Breeze
Mari (from "A Mari Usque Ad Mare")
Tidal
LOL... I wasn't there until you said it, but now I see the problem :) Good luck with a non-suggestive name!
ReplyDeleteWhat about Calypso? She was a sea nymph in Greek mythology . . . just an idea.

ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the little bits of glass you find in the surf- "Tumbled Sea Glass"
ReplyDeleteHow about mer a la menthe?
