Simple Scarf

In addition to doing fun cables and interesting things with yarn, sometimes I really like to have a basic project. They're perfect for knitting during movies or other times where I'd like my attention to be elsewhere. This winter, I finally used some yarn I received last Christmas, it was by Berroco Hip-Hop, a really bright multicolored thick-and-thin yarn. Here's what it looked like before knitting it up

I cast on 24 stitches on size 13 needles and knit in 2x2 rib for two skeins worth of yarn.

The result was this scarf


And here's a closeup of the fabric


I haven't worked much with thick-and-thin yarns before (or singles for that matter). It was definitely tricky keeping tension even, and I found that with this yarn I got a lot of yarn doughnuts, which was annoying. It's also very fuzzy, which you can get a sense of from that last picture.
