Can I have too many scarves?

This one is made with Noro yarn -- Kereyon Sock Yarn. I saw the pattern  and purchased the yarn at Country Woolens in Lebanon, NH. The pattern seemed intimidating but when I started it and followed the set up carefully it was not hard at all. It is a free download on Ravelry -- Gaia Shoulder Hug. The color changes for the stripes are based on the color transitions in the yarn. How clever of the designer, Anne Carroll Gilmour.


A few notes:
-- I used a bamboo needle
-- I used two small stitch markers on either side of the center stitch 
-- I stopped at 137 stitches total on either side of the center stitch (I was running out of yarn)
-- Need approximately 15 grams (or 45 yards) to do the picot bind off. The picot bind off is wonderful!
