Damn Sam for leaving her Noro striped scarf here. Damn me for having 4 skeins of Noro Silk Garden on hand. Damn the boredom caused by knitting another hoodie.
I succumbed. I made a Noro Striped Scarf.
I have to confess that it looks really cool. What I thought were muddy sections when I was knitting at night ended up having the most delightfully subtle variations in the light. I also have to confess that it is warm and snuggly and goes with most outfits in a casual sort of way. I also have to admit that I quite love it and it was a quick fun knit.
It is no where near the full 4 skeins, in fact I think I probably have enough of each colour (251 and 268 for the purists) left for a hat of some description. I knew all along that the full 4 would be too long but whilst debating where to finish I hit a join between red and navy blue. I took it as a sign from the gods and cast off.
So now I am the same as the rest of the internet knitting world. I have a Noro Striped Scarf!

ahhh but you don't have a clapotis do you? hmmm maybe we'll have to rectify that!
Oh, I don't have a Noro striped scarf or a clapotis (yet). That noro might be a bit scritchy, but the colors are good. Wish they were a bit more clever when they tie on a new end, though. Red and blue... I ask you.
I am just about to make a Noro scarf!
