Here’s a little logic exercise for you.
A. If it’s Noro and sparkly, then hell yes.
B. It’s Noro Aurora.
C. It’s sparkly.
D. On sale at the yarn store
Therefore: Hell yes.
Premise D wasn’t necessary, but sure was the deciding factor.
Behold the Multidirectional Scarf, knit in Noro Aurora on size 5 needles. I don’t think I’m capable of not loving this scarf.

Knitting content! As promised.
I recently completed a striped Noro scarf (brought to my attention in brooklyntweed’s blog), made out of a total of four skeins of Noro Silk Garden. I’ve always loved Noro colors, and this scarf didn’t let me down.
I was so happy to get a sunny day so I could get a decent shot of the delicious Noro colors! I love how the Morning Glory colors pick up on my favorite parts of the scarf. Colorways were two of the purple-ish color, one of the green-ish color, and one multi + brown color. (Sorry. Ballbands be damned.)
My favorite section:
I love patterns that let the beauty of Noro colors shine through and do their thing — I found myself questioning murky sections but kept going, and I think they let the brighter sections shine.
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden, 4 skeins
Gauge: Something squishy, on size 7 needles
Modifications: Nah. Straightforward and lovely.
