Collection of Scarves

This Checkie pattern scarf is one of my oldest scarves that had

been kept for around 8 years. It was my first birthday scarf from

my mom’s ex boss and it seems to be quite expensive at that time.

Since I hardly get expensive presents before I started my highschool

I was quite excited with this trendy gift, till now I still love this chunky

checkie scarf very much.

CHECKIE SCARF

This cookie scarf was born before my birthday, on April 2008. It was made by my classmate from the Chinese painting class, she is an amazing knitter. And I still remember very well by what she ask me about the scarf.

“What pattern do you prefer to be on the scarf? Smooth or chuncky?”

“Emm, something simple? Maybe looking warm and special?”

And here! On the week of my birthday I recieved a small paperbag with this cute little tiny bits cookie coloured scarf tied up delicately. I was totally amused and excited. This scarf is very precious for me because it’s my first birthday present that is handmade by someone. Which I realised that takes so much time after I started to learn knitting.

COOKIE SCARF

Niko and Netherlands! I don’t know why but somehow this scarf reminds me of them, maybe the light nylon texture and the blue and gray stripes? This scarf have simple elements of pattern and colours. It’s really delighful for summer and autumn. They don’t look cheap even they do, its only cost for $AUD7!

Do you know what’s this scarf reminds me of?

This is my very first own hand-made scarf, it took me ages because of

my clumsy knitting skills. It’s a very small scarf knitted with mohair yarn,

which is quite expensive. And this is the reason I knitted big patterns

for saving the amount of yarn.

After I knitted my scarf, I made another one for my mom’s birthday, in a

cosy olive coloured one. She love that scarf so much and wear it during

parties. This scarf is very fergile which I need to give extra care.

I named it as a “Furniture scarf”, it just looks like a carpet or curtain to me. I love the cottonly smooth silky texture, it’s very comfortable to wear in hot and cold weather. Just realised that this is my only pink scarf and I really love the combination of brown and pink pattern, this scarf matches most of my clothes. I got this from a nice boutique shop last year. I use this scarf often quite often in Hong Kong.

The most sexy scarf in my closet. This popular lepoard pattern had been

a trend in the year of 2008. But I seldom wears it though, honestly don’t

really think this scarf fits me, it’s way too wild for me however I love the

colouration of this scarf I end up keeping it as one of my collections but

I hardly wear it anymore. Apart from hiding in my closet, it likes to lay in

the bathtub for a sunbathe, perhaps you can call it “show off”.

Very elegant scarf here, with rosy patterns. My granny loves this flowery scarf and she ask me to get her one.

Don’t get fool by his ordinary look! This square, checky, stripe scarf do have a cool function, It works as a cape of a tiny blanket. It looks holey but actually it’s the warmest scarf in my collection. It travels with me causally which I really like about this scarf. It had this springy texture and it shrinks because of the stretching material that they used in this scarf, I suppose that they are cotton but they are much finer . This scarf need to get wash quite often, it somehow absobs the scents and it stinks in wet weathers. When I took this scarf with me back to Hong Kong, my mom loves to borrow it for her casual wear, she was totally obsessed with this funky scarf.

STRIPE SCARF

A soveneir from my best friend Sharon, she got me this cute little

trianglar scarf from HuangZhou, Shanghai.

This scarf is made in 3 parts with different kind of brown toned flowery

pattern. Seems like everyone knows I love scarfs and they start to help

me looking up for some special ones. The only problem of this scarf is

that I don’t seem to have a good match of clothes that can really fit it,

blame my clothes. Which means I need to buy some clothes for this

scarf! I can’t wait to wear it and show off my best friend’s present!

Starry Starry Scarf reminds me of the good old times, and my good old fashion taste. I love “bling blings” which you can see on the silver stripes across every star. I love star patterns when they make me look smart and so on. But after I graduate highschool to uni, I never wear this scarf again. This scarf is slightly off to my style now but it still gives me a good laugh when I look at it, it just reminds me of my oldies and my childish side with everything in this starry patterm.

STARRY STARRY SCARF

This scarf, it took me AGES to find it! It’s one of my most precious

collections, they are hard to find especially with the pattern that

won’t go too busy, there’s some are looking quite old when too much

flowery pattern was going on in a scarf.

This scarf decorates both of my plain and pattern clothings, they are

really delicate and nice, and I need to pay special attention and make

sure they won’t get damaged. Although they are looking gorgeous,

it’s still more on a “decor” side than in a purpose of keeping warm...

Look at the tiny holes! I won’t wear them in cold winter days!

FLOWERY SCARF

This is my VERY FIRST own scarf in my life!

I got this scarf when I was 8, my mom gave me her scarf to wear in school and I ended up getting a detention from it because of the colour was againsting the school rule. My mom ended up got me another cozy scarf from a department store. I was feeling very precious about this scarf, hoping for the cold weather and took it with me to school everyday. This scarf was made in a very special material, it’s not wool but something really soft and comfy, and it is stretchable. It’s a bit too short for me right now, but this design pattern and colour which is in gray with two lines of white dots on both ends of the scarf is always long lasting, always in trend, sometimes I just feel like wearing it. My most memoriable scarf.

I bought this scarf from egypt, very Arabic looking and elegant, sometimes I wear them in

semi-formal functioning. It defers from my other scarfs, it gives a mysterious looking and it

looks more like a cape which I usually wrap it around me instead of wearing it like a scarf.

The sales said this scarf is made by the Egyptian cotton which known to be famous, even

though I believe they are still made in China. What make this scarf that exciting is I made

some nasty bargan with this seller and he end up surrendered with an extremely low price.

It’s very cheap but very elegant heh.
