I used <a href=\"https:\/\/brooklyntweed.blogspot.com\/2007\/04\/noro-scarf.html\">this Brooklyn Tweed scarf<\/a> as inspiration and cast on 25 stitches. I then worked in a 1&#215;1 rib, alternating between colors every 2 rows. When I used up an entire ball, I simply changed to another. The result is a beautiful mixture of the Mesa, Olympia, Wildflowers, Ruby, and Aurora colorways. While I only used small amounts of leftover yarn, the finished scarf measures about 3.5 inches wide by 60 inches long. I love how the finished scarf shows off both the vibrant brights and delicate muted tones. Best of all, I&#8217;ve used up all of the small leftovers that were sitting around my desk! I did have to weave in a lot of ends, but the completed scarf made it all worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After completing a small project with Amazing, I was left with about 20 small balls in various colors, each ranging from about 5-15 yards in length.
