It is just too easy to churn these babies out! I have to admit, I was a little "meh!" about this scarf as I was knitting it. I love striping Noro yarns with solid or solid-ish yarns, but I think I need to go brighter on the solids, so I wasn't always thinking this one was my favorite. I figured that, like almost every scarf I knit, someone would ask who it was for and mention that they liked it and I would be handing it off to that person.
This time I didn't get a lot of offers to take it off my hands, but when I finished it I was surprised at how much I liked it. Then I wore it with this jacket and now I love it!
I'm going to try to knit something else before I cast on another Silk Garden scarf. I have so many planned though! This will not be easy.
Three hundred thirty-seven to go. Still working on those camera settings, those photos are too dark!
I really like your version of this scarf. I'm really drawn to the coolness (as in color temp) of the blues. and it looks SO warm!!! :)

The last picture is inspired! It really shows off all the shades of blue.

That last one would make a great Christmas tree in the right colours. Oops, sorry, didn't mean to give you even MORE ideas.

It's perfect for you! I picked up some Silk Garden when we were in Florida and I need to get going on one of these scarves.

Oh.SO. pretty. I'm glad I'm not the only one mesmerized and captivated by these silly things.

Ooh, lovely!

Well, aren't you shocked to hear I love it? And the cone shot is perfect. I think I like the Silk Garden version better than the Kureyons I've seen online.

The jacket provides a great backdrop for the scarf. Love the purply sections!

Is that a red wall in your house? I'm SHOCKED!
The scarf looks great with the coat and you look FABULOUS!

It's gorgeous. I just finished one, too, but mine's not blue. ;)
Also, I used a little different technique. Send me a note if you want to know what it is.

Oh, I love the last picture. I may have to steal/copy it when I finish mine. I was hoping I was only going to make one, now I'm not so sure. See what you started!
This one is perfect for you.

It's beautiful and perfect with your jacket, which by the way, I like very much! I have never knit with silk garden before....I just may have to give it a try.
