Norovirus 2.0
Another Finished Object:
Pattern: Noro Striped Scarf, by brooklyntweed.
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden, 2 skeins each of colorways 264 and 279, with maybe 20 yards (total) left over. I much prefer the Silk Garden for this scarf over the Kureyon. It’s softer and has a nicer drape.
Needles: Denise Interchangeable Needles, US size 8. The Silk Garden is more slippery than the Kureyon, so a stickier needle was is order.
Size: Before blocking, 72′ by 5 ½’. After blocking, 78′ by 5½’ . Long enough to wrap twice and tie in front.
I think I’ve got the Norovirus out of my system. I picked up the fuchsia cabled vest yesterday, having suddenly realized that I want to wear it this fall, which will be here soon (fingers crossed). Very soon.
This happens every year — the excessive heat, light, and humidity go away, and my mood and energy level increase a hundredfold. I sleep better. I don’t snarl as much. My skin clears up. I get to laugh at all the people who whine about winter coming. I decide it would be Bad Form to stand on the corner and chant “Neener Neener Neener” at the kids on the school buses. Life is very good.
