There is a new yarn product available this fall called Kidsilk Creation. It comes as is a knitted tube of Kidsilk Haze – you get eleven meters of it or so and knit or crochet it up into a ruffled scarf. I had to order some (of course!) and it came yesterday. I escaped my revision and knitted mine up in less than an hour. Nothing goes together better than Kidsilk Haze and instant gratification – except maybe chocolate and caramel.

Here it is:I couldn’t make heads or tails of the written directions inside the label, btw, but this struck me as a technique that would be easier to show than to explain. And sure enough. Rowan has video tutorials available on YouTube – but only visible to members. It is very easy once you see it done.

This colour is called Jelly. (It’s a little brighter than it looks in my picture. A bit more lime-licious.) I’ve always loved it, so really like having a scarf in this colour. Mr. C. says it looks like kelp. It does in a way, but I still like it. What do you think?

And what’s your favourite combination for instant gratification?
