Despite having
many projects in the works, I was completely entranced by the scarf project that I saw
here the other day on The Yarn Harlot's blog. After looking at most of her links and then dozens of versions on Ravelry, I had to cast on immediately and I've had the knitting in my hands nearly every waking minute since. The pattern calls for Noro Silk Garden and I combined it with some of our dark grey alpaca yarn. I had honestly never knit a scarf in the K1, P1 rib stitch, and I adore the way it looks like stockinette but with no front and back sides.
Noro is an incredible yarn which comes in different high-quality fiber blends (Silk Garden has silk, kid mohair, and lamb's wool), but the neatest part is how the yarns change colors in very long, gradual repeats. You can find more photos and the complete instructions
here. I can't wait to knit some socks with the pattern that I found
here using Noro sock yarn, but I
need to do some more scarves first! (Pssttt... they're for Christmas!)
(This is one of my favorite color transitions).
