    Very nifty! Almost as pretty as you.

    Make three colours of LEDs, with low frequency sounds lighting up one colour, medium frequency lighting another, and high another.

    I agree with the above, would give a nifty effect.

    This project Is EXACTLY why I started with interest in electronics but I wanted to make a UV tie that I could wear to the dance clubs around campus (80s era dance clubs). the stiff nature of the neck tie made it more conducive to pcb construction. I orginally said my roommate (an electronics engineer major) if he would built it for me. He said No but threw a copy of Forrest Nimms book “Getting started in Electronics” Never did make the tie. But 20 yrs later I did this. http://www.youtube.com/user/crunchburybeast
    All done with mostly Flip flops.:) Funny where simple ambitions can take you.

    Sing me a song and let’s see that scarf fly

    Great project! I would love to see two sets of 5 LEDs mirrored across the sides of the scarf. Might provide more even illumination and that aesthetic bilateral symmetry. Also, some sandpaper might make the lighting a bit more even.

    P.S. love the nose ring :-P
    P.P.S. no, I’ve never been good at following instructions
