Sophie Scarfs from Jenya on Etsy

Jenya has knit several Sophie scarfs and put them on Etsy. These scarfs are extremely popular, she’s already sold more than a half dozen of them. That may not seem like a lot, but when you consider that she knits them by hand, you might begin to see why that number is amazing. Secondarily, it’s pretty cool that she’s been able to garner orders from across the United States for her warm creations. It’s incredible how this item has taken off for us.

What are Sophie Scarfs?

Sophie scarfs are smaller scarfs that wrap around the neck once or twice. The ends are thinner than the middle, which makes them easier to wrap together. This fashionable accessory is soft to touch and just right for the Winter season. Jenya uses yarn that she likes to knit with, so you know it’s soft to touch. She also knits in different colors. Blue has been the most popular.

Scarfs or Scarves?

For my English-speaking nerd friends, I looked it up. Either plural is valid according to Grammarly. Merriam-Webster agrees.

Discussing the Plural

Regardless of which plural you think is correct or which one you use most, you can’t use either unless you order two or more Sophie scarfs (-ves), preferably from Jenya on Etsy. While you’re there, you can look at some other great creations she’s made.

‘Tis the Season

We also have stuffed penguins for your favorite plushie and/or penguin lover, Roly-Poly penguins for those who need a little help with stress relief, and some teddy bears that will bring vintage back to Christmas.

Etsy and Mastercard are teaming up to give Etsy shoppers $5,000! From now until the end of August, one lucky shopper on Etsy will receive $5,000 as a thank you for supporting small business and handmade items. I suppose I could probably write that information in another way, and psychologists would say I need to write it six times in order for you to remember it and 22 times in order for you to take action. However, I think more of you than psychologists.
