Stripey Goodness
Pattern: Jared Flood’s Noro Striped Scarf (ravelry link)
Yarn: Noro Kureyon in colors 115 and 149, which I purchased at Lamb Shoppe in Denver when I was visiting there with Michaele.
Needles: 5 mm (US 8) 24″ circular.
Modifications: I slipped the first stitch of every row instead of slipping the edge stitches as indicated in the pattern. The pattern is written to slip the 1st and last stitch of every other row, which serves the same purpose as what I did but makes the color shifts line up perfectly with the stripes. The change was not dramatic, but made it easier to remember to slip stitches.
Verdict: I love it! It’s a great scarf and it was so much fun to knit that I have to restrain myself from purchasing a ton of Noro just to make more of them. I’ve got my eye on some for holiday presents though. I can see more of these in my future.

I believe I saw and petted that scarf this past Saturday at Blazing Needle, hanging next to their stock of beautiful Noro… I loved the colors you chose, especially the red stripes.

You chose great colors for yourself!

Is there any reason you used kureyon instead of silk garden?
It’s calling me, closer and closer…
Oh! And I know who for!
