Noro Silk Garden Stripes

Inspired by a link on runawaypenguin.blogspot.com to this gorgeous scarf http://brooklyntweed.blogspot.com/2007/04/noro-scarf.html I have started a Noro stripes scarf. The idea is that you do two row stripes of alternating Noro colorways, using an 1x1 rib. Jared of Brooklyntweed used three colorways of Noro. I think I am just going to do two since I'm hoping I can persuade my husband to wear this scarf and he is not the most adventurous person when it comes to wearing colors, so the colorway with lots of pink and bright green would probably put him right off. Whereas these two, a black/grey/brown one (47) and a blue/green/purple one (8) striped together might just be tame enough for him to wear it. You can see Noro Silk Garden colors here. I also keep emphasizing the similarity to the scarf of the Tom Baker Dr. Who (number four) which while a stretch seems to be having some influence. Apparently the finished scarf will be subjected to the colleague mockery test, where he will wear it to the organ factory and see how much laughter it evokes.
