Giraffe




Bugg loves most animals. When she was little, we spent much time in the penguin house at the zoo and I thought that penguins would be the animal she loved best. As she got older, she gravitated toward giraffe. She loves the giraffe so much that we tried to track one down at the Build-a-Bear Workshop over Christmas break.






With her birthday coming up, this pattern seemed to be a sign. Photos of illusion scarves had barely gotten a glimpse from me before this pattern. The whole concept seemed like time better spent on a lace-something-or-other. Turns out, the process is not boring and does require some thought.






In the end, there is this illusion giraffe scarf that Bugg will receive for her birthday. She will love it!

That is so nifty and thoughtful! It looks great. I've always wanted to try one of those illusion scarves but always felt like I would grow bored too quickly.

What a cool scarf! I've never done illusion knitting before but this is just too cool... I've got to try it out soon.

Very Cool. I love the colors and it's so different ...it makes most scarves seem boring.

Early on I picked giraffes to be my favourite animal as I was always tall. I felt a connection. :) (Now my favourite animal, not counting different cats, is killer whales/orcas. I wonder what that says about my relationship with my body nowadays? :) )

I hope Bugg will love her scarf!
