Demonstrating lace knitting, Knitty's Branching Out cleverly portrays foliage. This scarf is perfect for winter and cold but relatively milder months (basically all seasons but summer; however, even then, there are exceptions ;P). The pattern and contact information of the designer may be found here.
This lace scarf, when knit in kid mohair, can be folded up about 8 times and placed in a tiny ziploc bag to be thrown in your purse for the emergency "I ran into my ex, and need to look hot right now!" situation.
