It&#8217;s a lovely pink (no surprises there) and really soft. On top of that it&#8217;s really practical as it isn&#8217;t long and doesn&#8217;t have to be wound around her little neck. Little Miss Bossy-Boots hates everything that\u00a0is restrictive\u00a0and isn&#8217;t a fan of scarves at all.

The scarf is\u00a0modelled by my Dad&#8217;s old Teddy Bear. He got him when he was two years old (my Dad, not the Teddy) and was afraid of him. I think the bear was just too big.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0haven&#8217;t been sitting on my hands either. Kris, my sister, brought me some wool which looks more like a net and is knitted with really big needles. It took me a little while to wrap my head round the concept of knitting with a net but once I got going I finished\u00a0the scarf in no\u00a0time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMGP4115b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-834\" title=\"Fluffy scarf\" src=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMGP4115b-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" \/><\/a>It\u00a0looks almost like a feather boa and\u00a0I&#8217;m not sure whether it&#8217;s really &#8220;me&#8221; so it might go to a new home at Christmas.
