first scarf this winter


It has been an unexpectedly busy fall & winter. I've started knitting this scarf since November & am only half-way through.
This scarf is adapted from one of my mom's favorites. Me & my sis used to have this "girls' guide" scarf all the time to go with our winter school uniform - yes, in Hong Kong, kids have to wear school uniforms from kindergarten to high school.
I have been loving the ruffles since a couple of years ago & so decided to do a ruffled version of that. I like the look of it so far. Unfortunately, this has been taking too long. Between my job, my kid, & a series of home remodeling projects, I hardly have time to finish this up. This was meant to be a Christmas present (!) for my mom. Oh well...
I'll post some more pictures shortly.
