Knitting Club

It's been all around the Noro Silk Garden scarf this week. To answer my own question, this yarn can be spit spliced. (One realizes how crazy fast the web is these years when a Google search on this very subject produced my blog entry as the #7 result.)I get about 40 inches of the scarf knit now. Considering that I'm just doing 1x1 ribbing, I'm not certain how I've been capable to restrain such sustained focus and high speed. I believe the regular changes in the yarn's color provides enough variation that it seems like something new every few inches. Still, I may terminate this scarf in record time, even for me.The trouble of Noro knots has been minimal. So far I've encountered one per skein. I considered cutting the thread on the one I ran into tonight, but it seemed like it would be unbecoming to beat the recital in my mouth at knit night. Sure, everyone there would experience what I was doing, but the ease of the restaurant's patrons wouldn't. (And I would have felt weird. Anyway, the knot came at the end of the row, so I figured it wasn't really any different than if I had joined another skein at that point. I let it be and kept knitting.The way this scarf is going, I suspect I will finish Saturday. (Tomorrow is too busy. Otherwise I consider it would be practicable to chalk out the rest. I'm going to be tempted to place it to my mom right away rather than waiting until Christmas.
