I was so inspired by the beautiful color changes in Knit Picks' Chroma yarn back when it first came out that I couldn't help but purchase a skein, not knowing what I would knit with it. I considered knitting it up into socks, but I just wasn't feeling it, so I hit Ravelry and found this great scarf pattern that is made just for pretty yarns like Noro or Chroma. Once I started knitting it, I couldn't stop! Eric was away for the long weekend and so I spent three days straight marathoning Buffy and Dollhouse, feverishly knitting away.... fun!!
I couldn't get a good pic of myself wearing the scarf, so here it is folded up all pretty. If you could see me wearing it, you'd see that it's a little on the short side. It is knit horizontally, so I had to decide how long it would be when I cast on - no way to add length later. The pattern says that you can cast on more stitches if you want to make it longer, but I was worried if I did that I would run out of yarn, so I stuck with the basic pattern... then, of course, it turns out that I had tons of yarn leftover and could have made it much longer!! *sigh* Isn't just that the way life goes sometimes?
