Rockstar
Scarf
by Jillian Moreno,
Acme Knitting Company
Take
two parts lucious colored Koigu. One
part silky fur Apart. Combine,
shake with a little garter stitch and a couple of
episodes of Six Feet Under and you've got a slinky
scarf.
Warning
(or not): strangers will pet you when you wear this
scarf, but f**k 'em; you're a rock star.

note: Jillian says you can substitute Berocco

slinky and sexy.

Using

Switch to MC and k in garter st for 18 rows [9 ridges].
Continue knitting, following pattern as established
until 1 yd of CC remains.

Tip: If you drop a stitch while knitting with Apart,
it's easier to rip back and start that section of
yarn again than to try to find the dropped stitch!
