A Quick Break for an Infinity Scarf

Sometimes you walk into your yarn store and see an amazing, awesome yarn that you have to have. And sometimes you just want to make something simple and quick. Sometimes that aforementioned yarn you've fallen in love with shows itself off best in garter stitch and it's obvious the stars have aligned.

This yarn, Trendsetter Sierra Nevada, has amazing, rich swirls of color. The best part, though, is its texture. The strand flows from tighly wound, thin and shiny to loose, fluffy and matte. There were two color lots that I was trying to choose between and I got the lighter one -- white, cream, gray, yellowish-tan and purple. Unique and so pretty!

After toying with some ideas of what to do with it, I decided just to knit a regular old scarf in garter stitch. (For you non-knitters, that's just knitting every row over and over until you're done.) It wasn't long enough after one skein, so I got another one.

It was nice when it was done! But it wasn't interesting enough. So, I sewed the ends together and made an infinity scarf instead. Instant trendiness!

This is a super warm and cozy scarf, largely because it's so big. It wraps around my neck four times if I want it to. There's no getting cold with that.
