Refashion: Love my Scarf

I love Wardrobe Refashion.
Sometimes, a post on there gets me so excited, like this post by Sadie Fox.

I knew which sweater would be the donor, because I've had it around for many years.
This sweater is about 10 years old, and it's been through many washes, and has shrunk. I do have a sentimental attachment to it though, which is why it sat around waiting for me to do something with it.

Following the instructions from the original tutorial, I've made the it scarf that I'm going to wear all winter. It is made up of strips of the sweater, finished around the edges and gathered using a ribbon. I used a pretty, soft pink ribbon, but I think I may replace that with a black or gray satin ribbon instead.

Thanks to my daughter for taking these pictures of me:

But I confess, that semi-glamorous vibe is not my usual winter look.
This is:

Shivering, shoulders hunched all the way up by my ears, still a big smile, very, very cold and decidely uncool.
BRRRRR.............
