Dancer, always a willing and patient subject.
While I am with everyone else who enjoyed the easy knitting and the anticipating color changes with this project, I did not care for the yarn quality itself. I've had this in my stash for awhile and now I know what had been keeping me from it. There were more than enough bits and nits having to be picked out along the way. Both skeins of yarn had two tied off/knotted ends which which didn't match color wise; isn't this yarn known for gentle color gradations? Good thing I like Russian joining. I am happy at least I used stash yarn, and half of it some decent alpaca/wool. At 10.95 per skein, you're looking at a forty- four dollar scarf if you use all Noro. (That's the New England Yankee in me talking). Maybe I got a bum batch? Well, all said and knit, I still really like the end product, Thanks Brooklyn Tweed for sharing.
Love that 1st photo of Dancer modeling the scarf! Gave me a good giggle!

And look what a good horse! Not even trying to eat the finished article (unlike SOME horse models I could name).

That's a really unique modeling of an FO!
My Noro sock yarn did the same thing...knot in one part, broke in another. Because of the nylon component, Russian join didn't work. No twin socks in this project.
Your scarf colors are perfect.
