that zig zag looks really interesting from the texture point. But I cant figure out what you mean by twisting your stitches LT or RT (I figure L=left R= right and T=twisting, but the only way I know to twist a stitch is to knit it through the back and that doesn’t have a L or R factor to it)
And I second all the points on Noro. VERY cool!

I love the Noro too! I love how the colors fall on the here’n’there-ness.
I think I have some needles from the ’80s, too. I love really old “stash.” It makes the compulsive hoarding seem worth it.

Love the yarn, love the pattern. Wonderful stuff. One way of elongating the scarf would be to play with the beginning and end in such a way that you narrow down both ends. You might need to make a chart for the increase and decreases to do this evenly. I would stay “in-pattern”, and just space out increases and decreases to kind of go with the cable…or maybe improvise a little with the cable structure on both ends. You would end up with “leaf tip” type ends that might look really nice with a pin holding the scarf at the neck, or just dropping down. I’m excited to see you finisht his one. Good luck.

I LOVE the Here and There cables – its such a fun knit. You can block it to make it a bit longer when you’re done so maybe you’ll have some leftover for fringe!

The Silk Garden scarf is gorgeous! I’m not usually a Noro fan, but the colors really flow well with that pattern.
The other scarf seems really, really thick to me as well. Good call on switching patterns.

Hmmm, that is one THICK Scarf….what about a River? Heh heh – weak attempt at humour as I haven’t made much progress on mine…:)
