Comfort Knits

Based on the Child's Rainbow Scarf. Its a really easy pattern.
Noro, silk garden sock S84, 2 skeins.
Addi circ lace us4

The yarn feels lush and the fabric drapes beautifully. Softer on the neck than Kureyon.

Modification:
I CO75
I slipped the first stitch of every row, to give a nicer edge.
I used 2 skeins of the same colorway, in stripes.
This is a fun pattern and the surprise of the yarn keeps you going! Its what I call "comfort knits." Knitting projects with yarn and pattern familiar and easy. You slip into it with very little thought, and it is immediately satisfying.

I looks wonderful, but wow, that's a lot of ribbing. Good for zoning out, tho, and just going with the flow. I'm still waiting for my LYS to get their Silk Garden sock in - sigh.

You should get an award for that second picture: "Blogger dedication -- must show off the FO!" :-)
