Scarfalicious

Since this blog purports to be somewhat knitting related, I thought I'd post a bit of knitting. How innovative, I know. I've been going scarf crazy pretty much since I learned to knit just over a year ago now, but particularly so since the end of summer, when I could see the cooler weather approaching. I love colorful accessories (to go with my drab clothes) and so far I have shied away from knitting garments, so scarves suit me just fine. Here is the latest one I finished.

You can see it works well with my beloved Seattle rain jacket.

The pattern I used was the Noro Scarf by brooklyntweed. I knit it in Noro Silk Garden yarn, colorway 226. I probably used about 3 skeins, though I can't be sure because I frogged a round poncho that I was unhappy with to get the yarn. It ended up a bit longer than 5 feet and is nice and squishy warm.
Good-bye, ugly round poncho.
