Non Troppo

Cathy knit Non Troppo (pattern purchased on Ravelry) and it is a beautiful scarf.
non troppo is a dream of cloudy lightness and funky elegance, inspired by ma non troppo, a recent Ziggurat pullover I knitted for my mum. 
This perfect wrap for coolish summer evenings is knitted on the bias, generous, asymmetrical, striped – and has both textural playfulness and flair.  
Choose somber or wild colours as you please and settle into some soothingly simple knitting. 
non troppo just could be the perfect commuter or read-while-you’re-knitting knit – nothing complicated is going on (and goes on for quite a while).
Cathy used one ball of Freia Ombre Merino Lace (Aura) and three balls of Rowan Kidsilk Haze (632).

I had fun putting together some different colour combinations.
Pixie
676
Pt Reyes
671
Dirty Hippie
579
Metropolis
671

I'm having fun playing on the new website. One area we are still tweaking is the discount codes and making sure that they are working properly. The only way to do that is to offer you a discount.

15% off if you purchase 4 balls of Freia Merino Ombre Lace and/or Kidsilk Haze. Any combination of 4 balls gets you the discount.
Discount Code
NONTROPPO

The discount is valid until 8pm EST, Tuesday March 26, 2019.
I had breakfast with dad this morning. Lucy was happy to be home on her couch.
She was a little confused when she got to our house. Her friend Roko was missing. After some searching she made herself comfortable. Her two favourite spots. Between the kitchen and living room and beside the kitchen table.
She didn't get any smaller!

I love this version of the non troppo wrap, and I hope to cast on as soon as I get my needles. I was wondering if there are any notes about how many stitches were cast on because the pattern calls for more yardage than what a single Freia shawl ball has.
Any help would be most appreciated! :)

Cathy followed the pattern as it was written. Have fun knitting.
