Love love love the scarf -- that is a fabulous limey color.
Gorgeously impressionist, verging on pointilism. No wonder people want to touch it... it looks velvety. Good job!
Well, I howled at "...lime green, lime pink, lime purple, lime orange..." So there. btw, the scarf is everything you said -- colorful, cheerful, lovely!
It looks great on you, and you are looking pretty good!
Love the scarf (did you dye the yarn yourself???), love the invisible philosophy. I'm currently attempting to ignore snarky comments made on Facebook by a relative by marriage. Poof I wave my magic wand, they no longer exist in my universe (which of course is why I've hidden their Facebook feeds and their mother's and their brother's and their sister's...). Wish it were as easy to make them invisible and inaudible in real life.
I ignored some unbendable yarn myself this week and actually found that it did bend once it was moistened a bit (it was sock yarn that was part nylon).
Stephanie McPhee said somewhere that we shouldn't scrutinize our knitting too carefully. What I've found is that a lot of stuff simply looks better, more even, etc. after it's washed and dried. Until then unless it's a real mistake (like a dropped stitch, a stitch that missed a row, or a twisted stitch) too much scrutiny is just going to make us seek for an unattainable perfection. Of course I'm always tinking back in search of that, but I know I shouldn't. I guess that's where invisibility comes in.

I heart. Now I go read.
