Another FO!
A simple scarf - based on Amy Singer's Montego Bay pattern. Since this is a much thicker yarn, I cast on only 25 stitches. It's my go-to scarf yarn - Noro Silk Garden. I love this stuff for scarves! (I have three - The Harlot scarf, the Argosy scarf and now this). I think this one is my favourite - I love love love the colours - lots of greys, greens and blues, with enough brown tossed in to match my coat. Here's a judiciously cropped shot of it being worn - sorry for the blurriness - it's tough taking your own picture in a mirror! The overall length is just over 6 feet, so this is doubled, and the ends drawn through the loop. I love wearing scarves this way, and I love how the greens are front and centre - they're my favourite.
I used 3 balls of Noro Silk Garden - about 2 and a half for the actual knitting, then I cut the rest for fringe, and didn't use it all.
Heading north tonight, but just Son and myself. Hubby is stacked up at work (major contract due in September). I don't expect to see much of him this month, so I am back to single parenting. The only drag about this weekend is losing the 5 hours of knitting time I get while I am a passenger. (2.5 hours each way). Oh well. Small price to pay for getting to sit by the water all weekend...

I'm jealous. Sitting by the water all weekend.....
Gorgeous scarf! Hope you guys are currently sitting/playing by the lake as I type this.
Your Montego Bay scarf in Noro Silk Garden is Fabuloso! I just breezed right by that pattern when I got my Summer IK, but seeing it in the Noro on your blog has me in love with it...off to find a sale on silk garden.
