I finished this for one of my nieces for Christmas. She has a sister that is close in age and my next task is making a similar one for her. I tend to do similar Christmas gifts for them because I figure that sister's that close in age probably fight over stuff, so I might as well make for one what I make for the other! This is such a fun project, very easy to stitch and chat at the same time which is what I did at my mom's Stitch n' Bitch last night. The other ladies tend to stick to knitting, but I bring whatever needle craft I happen to be working on at the moment. More pictures:
If anyone is interested in making this I put a tutorial on Flickr last year. I did change something this time around though, and it comes out much cleaner. I cut out the circles in a medium weight interfacing in the proper size and iron them onto my chosen fabrics. Then I leave about half an inch of material overhanging on the circle. As I applique them onto the scarf, I tuck my ends around - leaving a slightly puffy circle with no frayed ends. Let me know if you make one!
Cheers, S

SO pretty! Love those colors and patterns! Where'd you score the fabric?
Really pretty - what a lucky girl!
Thanks for visiting my blog - I've just been reading back through some of your posts and you have made me laugh a lot - so thank you for that!
Good call on the sister thing. I do love the colors and scarfs are great for this time of year.
Your scarves are very pretty. Love seeing the different color combinations.
