What's Great About Knitting a Simple Ribbed Scarf?

So many things. I will try to cover as many as I can think of.

• Sometimes life is such that even a 1x1 ribbed pattern can be challenging. I can't tell you the number of times I had to tink a stitch or two because I got off track. I lead a crazy life right now. Crazy with the stress.
• Sometimes knitting needs to be as simple as possible. Sure, garter stitch would be easier, but 1x1 ribbed is definitely not difficult.
• There's just enough of a difficulty factor to keep it interesting. Factor in the Noro yarn and this was super interesting.
• The scarf is reversible--both sides are the same. It makes the scarf easier to wear when there is no "wrong" side. Plus I find that I tend to wear a scarf more if it's reversible.
• It's easy to pick up the project and knit in fits and starts. Easy!

The Pattern: Noro Scarf by Jared at Brooklyn Tweed

The Yarn: Noro Silk Garden; Two and 2/3 skeins of 211 and One and 1/3 skein of 84.

The Needles: US Size 8

The Other Comments: What can I say about this project that hasn’t already been said on a knitting blog? There’s something about scarf knitting that I find soothing. I enjoyed seeing the color patterns and trying to predict what would show up next.

It was "supposed" to be two skeins of each colorway, but I used stash yarn and this is what I had. And really, if the Noro skeins differ enough, I think you could get away with using the same colorway. As it was, I found that my two "different" colorways contained some of the same colors anyway. I had to clip the yarn a few times pull out a few inches from one of the skeins to get to a different color.

I loved knitting this scarf. And I don't want to jinx myself, but I think I found my knitting mojo. Mojo is mojo. Even if it's only for simple projects.
