i am not a fan of variegated wool.
my friend asked me for a scarf for her 40th birthday.
great.
sadly i don’t know how to work with variegated wool. self-stripping yarn creates an unusual problem. the problem for me is because of the multi colors; you can’t knit in lace or pattern because you loose the detail with the multi coloring.
i chose a fairly simple pattern:
forsa scarf from noro: cornelia tuttle hamilton book 2
the goods:
5 skeins queensland collection bengali
needles US 9 (long.. as c/o of 302 sts)
needles US 9 (long.. as c/o of 302 sts)
in the end i love the scarf.
happy b-day LP.

That scarf turned out beautifully! I love that pattern too. It's not every day you see a scarf knit like that.
It looks beautiful! She's going to love it.
What a lovely gift. I'm sure she will adore it!
Beautiful! I love the colors.
Not only was the scarf beautiful but TOTALLY functional as well. We froze to death in NYC and if it wasn't for the scarf....well I don't know what she would have done. You the bomb ass digity bomb of knitters!
I am making a gift scarf out of Noro Silk Garden. I just love The colorway and the fabric it makes.
The pattern and color of the scarf you made is just beautiful.
