If the question is about the Habu scarf...the answer is YES! It's done and I really like it. I might make another one at some point that is longer. There's more info about it in the Gallery.

If the question is about this striped Noro Silk Garden scarf I started...the answer is...you help me decide. This is a Noro Silk Garden scarf inspired by brooklyntweed. It's going to be another Christmas gift, and I decided to use pretty muted colorways. The thing is, I've used up 1 skein each of the yarns. Now, this has resulted in a 5-1/2" by 43" scarf thus far. My question is whether you all think this is enough, in which case I'll return the 2 other skeins. Or, if you think it's far too short, I'll press on and use up the yarn. The scarf is intended for a ~5'10" man who lives in San Fran (so it gets windy and cold, but not frigid or snowy).

In other news, I am grateful to the super-talented Octopus Knits for this award

Okay, so that's 7, not 5. I've got a lot on my mind here, so you'll forgive me for miscounting!
Oh my! Thank you! Geez, I feel so loved right now!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the scarf! I'm so intrigued by this stainless steel blend yarn.
Awww, thanks! Rock on!
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors of your Kusha scarf. I have a silver/dark grey one, and I'm thinking of subbing a different merino yarn to make a kickier one.
The Kusha scarf is very interesting and pretty! The Noro striped scarf is beautiful, too. Hmm... 43 inches might be Ok if he's a tuck type of guy (as opposed to a "fling it around your neck" type of guy). Can you have a person of similar height and build try it on to see what you think? (For myself, I would probably prefer it a little longer, but...)
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely scarf!
