Noro Silk Garden Striped Scarf

February 19, 2008 By Carole

Our long weekend concludes today and we are going to make the most of it. So far our only plan is to go out to breakfast but I’m sure we’ll find fun things to do afterwards – even if it’s just loafing off at home.

In the meantime, I’ve finished the Noro Silk Garden Striped Scarf. Say that 10 times fast, will you? And even if you get tongue tied it will still be faster than knitting one of these scarves! Don’t get me wrong – I loved it – but boy was I ready to be done with it last week.

And I am. Done, that is. I even have proof.

Honestly, the colors are so beautiful and the combinations all so different that I couldn’t stop taking photos. Either that or I was just so happy to be outside in the sunshine that I lost track of time.

Suffice to say, it’s gorgeous. I wasn’t sure who would be the recipient but Dale and I both really love it so I think we will be sharing the wearing of this scarf.

    Beautiful scarf and so nice that it will be shared.

    Very nice. Gotta make me one of those.

    I can’t get enough of these. I’m working on another one, too.

    Very nice! Share? That would never work in my house.

  7. Deb says

    February 19, 2008 at 8:48 am

    I think you should wear it together on your walks!

  8. Knitnana says

    Lovely! Glad you had a good, long weekend!

    Pretty! See you Friday!

  10. Sara says

    February 19, 2008 at 9:02 am

    Oh, it is so pretty…I have two skeins of that Noro Garden Silk…two different skeins! The reason being that I bought one for myself and one for Scarlett when we were at this interesting little knit shop in Portland. So, it looks like I will be the proud owner of two scarves!!!

  11. Robin in VA says

    It’s so pretty!! Have a wonderful day together!

  12. Francesca says

    February 19, 2008 at 9:13 am

    I love it. And it is on my to do list, pretty near the top, so this is good inspiration.

  13. Vicki says

    February 19, 2008 at 9:16 am

    I haven’t seen (or knit) a single one of these that I didn’t absolutely LOVE. Nice job, Carole. And it’s good to share.
    ; )

    I haven’t gotten around to making one, they are so beautiful. The color changes make it an interesting piece to look at, but oh my… I can see the “endless” part. Maybe I’ll put up a bag with yarn and needles for a time when I need endless, mindless.

  15. Leslie says

    February 19, 2008 at 9:39 am

    So pretty! I made one for my brother for Christmas but I may need one for myself as well. Maybe next fall…

  16. jillian says

    February 19, 2008 at 9:55 am

    Gorgeous! That’s a great color combo.

  17. Marcia Cooke says

    February 19, 2008 at 9:57 am

    Joint scarf custody…what a great idea! Wouldn’t work here, though. It’s beautiful, Carole!

  18. margene says

    February 19, 2008 at 10:03 am

    You can’t make a bad color combination, but yours is exceptionally nice.

  19. Cheryl S. says

    February 19, 2008 at 10:25 am

    Beautiful colors!

  20. Beth S. says

    February 19, 2008 at 11:22 am

    That is a particularly harmonious scarf, I agree! And I am impressed that you would even consider letting Dale walk off with it. You’re very generous! 😉

  21. Chris says

    February 19, 2008 at 11:30 am

    Stunning!

  22. Kim says

    February 19, 2008 at 11:32 am

    Beautiful! You mean you are not going to make Dale one of his very own? (ducking)

  23. Cookie says

    February 19, 2008 at 12:15 pm

    Carole, it’s lovely. Bit of a slog, though? I knew there was a reason I’d been avoiding it.

    I’m so glad you and Dale are getting a long lazy weekend together. Enjoy!

  24. Lucia says

    February 19, 2008 at 12:37 pm

    It is beautiful, and I can definitely see why you’d want to be done. Congrats!

  25. JessaLu says

    February 19, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    Beautiful! :o)

  26. Julie says

    February 19, 2008 at 2:47 pm

    It is a lovely scarf!

  27. michelle says

    February 19, 2008 at 3:15 pm

    A scarf you can share – too sweet! and a lovely one it is 🙂

    Enjoy your last day off.

    Noro is such a magical yarn, but its true beauty can only be brought out by a beautiful knitter such as yourself.

    Now I know where our sunshine went. You can keep it though. I want to be able to wear my handknits at least for a few days.

  29. Alarming Female says

    February 19, 2008 at 5:32 pm

    Not making another one, eh? No chance?

    I might. It’s good reading knitting.

  30. Micki says

    February 19, 2008 at 6:08 pm

    I am overcome with longing every time I see one of those Noro scarves. Yours is lovely!

  31. DebbieB says

    February 19, 2008 at 6:15 pm

    I love, love, love your scarf. I have stashed some Silk Garden for just this purpose, and it’s going to be the very next thing on the needles.

  32. Alana says

    February 19, 2008 at 8:03 pm

    The scarf is gorgeous. I saw one at a LYS when I was visiting somewhere last fall, and I couldn’t take my eyes off it. I agree though… scarves are boring. I’ve made three this season, and just about go nuts by the time I get to the end!

  33. Beth says

    February 19, 2008 at 9:51 pm

    It’s beautiful! I’d like to knit one of these someday…if the Chevron Scarf doesn’t do me in. 🙂

  34. Chris H says

    February 19, 2008 at 11:58 pm

    Oh! THERE are the pictures! I think my poor computer doesn’t much like your new blog format. 🙁

    I can’t view the pics anymore, so I had to borrow hubby’s laptop, just to see this scarf! (And all the other pics I’ve been missing! lol)

    Anyhoosie, it’s just beautiful, as always!

  35. Karen says

    February 20, 2008 at 8:32 am

    Pretty! I haven’t seen one I haven’t loved yet. I am pretty sick of working on mine too.

  36. Lolly says

    February 20, 2008 at 8:46 am

    I just adore the simplicity of these scarves – beautiful gradations. Lovely work~

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
