Twist and Shout

Michelle wasn't back a full month before she had suggestions on what I could be designing. In particular a light weight infinity scarf.

Prism's new yarn Rapport (a cotton/bamboo blend) was calling my name so I swatched around for a pattern stitch that did it justice and was still on the light and airy side.
The colorway is Peacock and combines my two favorite colors teal and purple. The picture does not do the depth of color justice.
May I introduce the Twist and Shout Infinity Scarf. Great for variegated/hand painted yarns. Wear as a cowl on a cool morning, and unwrapped as a colorful accessory to any outfit. It’s a quick knit and fun to make.
Michelle finished hers too (also in Rapport). It was such a hit that she plans on making a couple for gifts. I love when that happens!

Jennifer and Lindsey like the sample and picked out their colors. We discovered that Laura Bryant has put "sayings" on the inside of the label. Like a yarn fortune cookie! They wanted to unwrap more yarn, and we decided that wouldn't go over too well with Beth! :)

The pattern is available on Ravelry or at Westport Yarns.
