This is a great pattern. It makes so much sense, it's brilliant in its simplicity. I like the edging, which was a new technique for me. I love this Noro colorway. It's very Spring-y. No. 95 Kureyon which I bought almost a year ago on an afternoon date I had with Cap in Manhattan. The shop I bought it in no longer exists though they may re-open.
I used the same Cascade 220 with which I attempted Leaves of Grass.
Someday, I plan on picking up some Silk Garden (the yarn Brooklyn Tweed used in his original pattern) and knitting a version of this scarf again. The Cascade really chunked up this scarf. However, I really like the interplay between these colors...it turned out much the way I envisioned it.
Kelly has a way of brightening up any space she occupies and this scarf is much the same :-)
I used US size 6 or 7 dpns to knit this up, can't remember which. I used all 220 yards of the Cascade and nearly two balls of the Kureyon. The scarf measures a hefty 7 feet+, but Kelly says she likes her scarves long, so I am reassured about the length (which can be shortened easily if need be).
