A Bluestocking Knits

Yesterday, I finished a Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf, designed by Karen Baumer — I used the alternate, symmetrical end.  (A PDF version is here, with a photo.)  This is a breezily simple knit, and looks wonderful in the leftover lovely Noro Silk Garden #88 from my Clapotis.  The multidirectional triangles are a very effective use of Silk Garden’s long color shifts.

The dates are deceiving — it is a fast knit, taking probably about two hours per triangle at a fairly leisurely pace.  Mine would have been finished a lot sooner if a), I hadn’t forgotten about it completely about three-quarters of the way, and b) I hadn’t decided that it was a smidge too short, and "required" a trip to the yarn shop for another ball which c) is discontinued and in the end was donated expressly for the purpose of finishing this scarf by Siow Chin, and brought home for me by my very tolerant husband!
