A quick birthday knit...

I wanted to make something special for my sister's 22nd birthday this year.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to it until the day before her party.  Luckily, my day was pretty open, so I started a couple of things, ripped them out, tried again...repeat.  I had this idea of a tight cowl-type scarf, but I couldn't find a pattern that I liked.  So, for better or for worse, I made one up myself. 

Here's what I cooked up...  

Basically, I just crocheted a short scarf, sewed the ends together, then crocheted some flowers for a little pizazz.  I can't decide what I think of it.  It was much looser than I wanted and it doesn't sit quite right. 
Anyway, Katie insisted that she still wanted it, so I gave it to her the other day.  Luckily, she loved it.  That girl can pull off anything, though. :)
