FO: Noro Stripe Scarf

I started this scarf in January and finished it within the week, which was a good thing because the thermometer didn't get above freezing until almost late March. I was just fascinated with the color combinations and transitions. The hardest part was to "trust" the noro stripe and let the colors come together on their own instead of splicing in better combinations. No genetic engineering here.



Pattern: Generic and ubiquitous (craze started here)
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden, 2 skeins each of numbers 208 and 234
Needle: No. 6



I cast on 39 stitches with a slipped stitch selvage. Scarf was a good-type of knitting magic when you become completely tickled that you made something fascinating and useful from something so mundane and ordinary.
