What a great story! I wonder if she realized, when she created the design, that the owl would be upside-down, or whether she was just drawing it as an artist and not as a scarf-wearer?
And it will be interesting to see how you knot the scarf to bring the different animals into view. That was the main reason I ultimately decided not to purchase it... so many gorgeous animals, but it looked as though very few of them would show up. Then again, I'm not a very creative knotter, unlike so many others on this thread!
