Argosy Scarf

I have about 7 repeats left on section 2 before I start section 3. I am really disappointed with the Noro Silk Garden Lite yarn. When it came time to add the new skein, I had to take out about 20 feet of the yarn and splice before I ended up with the yarn in the right place to continue with the pattern of the stripes. This is something I might expect with cheaper yarn. I have thought of knitting something big with this yarn, like a sweater, but may need to reconsider. Also the yarn is not very soft considering it is 45% silk.

Here is the progress of my Argosy scarf. At this point, I have done about 8 repeats of the second section. I don't really like how much dark yarn there is, but we will see how it flows with the rest of the scarf. I also hope the yarn softens up some. I am knitting this with Noro Silk Garden Lite, in color #2017.

BSJ #1 Complete

I finally got the 2nd shoulder seamed and the buttons put on. See how the buttons match the yarn? Just like they were made for the yarn :)
