This yarn is Noro "Matsuri" (which means "festival" in Japanese) and is a mostly cotton cotton/silk blend. I love Noro yarns for their vibrant colors. When I chose the yarn, the blues and reds were tucked inside the skein and I had no idea they were there. I was drawn to the green and purple combo. Yes.
I knit this using a diagonal eyelet pattern I found via Ravelry. It took awhile to get going figuring out gauge and then needle size, but I was very happy with the end result. It does exactly what I wanted: to drape and wrap and be cozy for three seasons of the year.
Karen wouldn't take it off :-) She, Brent and I talked into the night last Friday, she in her pjs, bathrobe with the scarf wrapped around her neck...
(I finished around 1:00 am the morning we left for Massachusetts...24 hours before the three of us said good night, Karen with her scarf wrapped 'round her neck...I was so happy to have finished I didn't feel too tired :-)
