Graduation Girl Scarves

I'm so in love with Noro Silk Garden after making these three scarves for the girls who are graduating this year.

The center one is in the pattern from Brooklyn Tweed. The two outside ones are
the Multidirectional Diagonal scarf pattern.

All of these have been so much fun to knit - and easy, too. Now I better return to the Bates College Afghan and finish that up!

Airplane Knitting - Brooklyn Tweed Noro Scarf

An almost perfect project for knitting on an airplane: the Brooklyn Tweed striped Noro scarf. I say "almost" perfect because unwinding the two skeins of yarn while crammed into a middle seat between two teenage boys (lovely as they are) was a little tiresome. I made a lot of headway on the plane from Boston to Denver, then knit a lot in our slopeside condo (watching the Sopranos) after strenuous days of skiing.

I used Silk Garden in colors 258 and 264. Here's Bode helping model it:



Not to be outdone, here's Dixie modeling it.


Lastly, here I am wearing it as we attempt to patronize the only yarn shop in Aspen - The Yarn Gallery. Despite the fact that it was 5 PM there was an "out to lunch" note on the door. I never did get inside...

SuperBowl Sale on Noro Yarn

The best part of the SuperBowl is The Fiber Loft's sale on all Noro yarn: 15% off. I escaped with 4 balls each of Kureyon and Silk Garden, and one of Kureyon Sock yarn.

And I got a skein of Alpaca Sox, which was not on sale but irresistible.

I'm not sure what I'll be making from these (other than socks from the sock yarn!), but it's always nice to have some Noro yarn in the stash.
