I've a problem!

I've a problem! please leave a note with your advice!

It all started about a month ago when I left my scarf at dance class. I couldnt see it anywhere there the next week or the next! then a few days ago, my mam stopped in front of the local library, talking to her freind. Kate, my little sister, yelled at me to come over. She was peering in a window looking into the library. I looked in and there was my scarf! I rushed in, to find it was in an exibit from the local day-care center! I held it up, it still smelled of me, exept right in the middle there was an area that smelled like it had been sprayed with an air freshiner! You are thinking "how can she be sure its hers?". I will tell you. My MAM knit it for me. If you are at all familiar with knitting, you will know that if you use very thin, "hairy" wool, you are meant to use quite thick, fat needles. My mam used tiny ones and she used up 8 balls of wool on it when she could have used 2. Also, since she had so many stitches that the middle streched out and the ends looked all frilly. There were little balls of dyed fluff stiched into the wool, and the one in the exibits peices of fluff have gone grey, just like mine did,from wear. There are bald patches on it.
I told the librarian that it was mine, so she phoned the center, but the nurse there said she could
vouch that it was an old lady from a village not so far away. Ya right! like a little was going to drive 25 miles to a shop (our local wool shop dosn't stock that brand) to by 8 balls of garish green wool, then knit it with totally wrong sized needles, wear bald patcheds in it, turn the coloured balls grey, give it my small and put it in a compitition! I even have a photo of me wearing it!

I couln't see how she got it, but recently it struck me that bingo is held in the same hall we have dancing in, only a few nights later! I don't want to hurt the"knitters" feelings, but me and my mam wan't it back! Any suggestion?
