Anna Maria Horner's Figure 8 scarf

So one of my resolutions for 2012 is to be nicer to ME, so I made myself a New Year's present this year. And why not? I like me, and I know what I want. 

My gift to myself is a Figure 8 scarf.  I wanted to make one of these ingeniuos scarves the moment I saw them on Anna Maria Horner's blog, so make one I did.  Though Anna Maria uses velveteen and cotton voile for this project (kits are available in her shop), I used one yard of Zap Zig Loulouthi flannel in eggplant, and one yard of Buoyancy Loulouthi cotton in deep. I love the way the flannel and cotton combine for a crushable, machine washable, yet warm and comfy scarf. 

What have you done for yourself lately?
