PINK scarf!

Mummy was saying the scarf she made for me last yr looks a bit boyish for me now (i didnt have alot of hair so mummy says i will look wierd in sweet girly colours!) so she decided now that its time for her to knit me a PINK one since i have longer hair now though still THIN! lol the previous scarf cost much cheaper than this one in total though.. in terms of worthiness, think the old one is still alot more value for $ lol.

This one, she need to buy 3 balls of yarn as this yarn is finer.. so instead of 2, she bought 3.. one ball of yarn cost about 1620yen (cheaper than the previous 1800yen).. which includes delivery fee n all, already cost her 5888yen! then, this time she decides to make my scarf cuter by adding pom poms at the ends as fringe... so today she went to buy pom pom maker (about 500yen per pack) and 2 balls of yarn for the pom pom (she plan to make a 2 colour pom pom hehe) for 380yen each... so total cost for this whole project cost her about 8000yen!!!! which is about 120sgd?? omg... totally not value for $ mummy!

Mummy spent bout 2 weeks to get this scarf done (without counting the pom poms of cos).. rushing the work only when i nap (1.5hrs) or during my sleep at night (about 4hrs per night)

Mummy thought the colour for this scarf is very nice until she saw the other ball of yarn she bought for the pom poms. its seems brighter! suddenly the colour of this scarf seems so dull...anyway mummy will add the pom poms these few days and then she will wear it on me for photo taking purpose lol. will post up then! stay tune!

DONE FINALLY!
