Inspired by Great Ghosts!
Despite the influx of spring clothing into stores and the rain pounding my window, it's still too cold to revel in spring fashion. (However, the rain is doing a fabulous job of washing-off my car.) Thus, I am making every effort to re-vive my tired winter wardrobe to carry me into the days when I can (finally) sport spring clothing.

Exhibit: The creation of the chunky scarf I never got around to making all winter.
(Spring storm update: WHOA, lightning!)
I just cast on 20stitches onto 10mm needles with Lionbrand Thick and Quick (2 balls) and knit up some seed-stitch.
Row 1: *K1, P1* repeat until end.
Row 2: Knit the purls and purl the knits.
Repeat until scarf reaches desired length.

For further evidence of the supreme coolness of bulky knits, do check out Wool and the Gang and their blog. Seriously, do the French do everything right? *nods*
I will leave you with an example.
