Instant Gratification Scarf in Noro

To be very honest, part of the reason why we went to Tasmania was so that we (I) could wear some of our yarn goodies in a proper cold climate.  We live in subtropical Bayside Brisbane so there are only a few days, in the depth of winter can you wear more than a decorative scarf, let alone a beanie.  So you can imagine my delight in having to wrap everyone up in all my handmade, love infused woolies.

As I was packing, I realised I only had cotton scarves for me, so I panicked, jumped on to Ravelry and found the easiest knitted scarf in the world to make.   It's called the Instant Gratification Scarf and uses a drop stitch.  Seriously the fastest, easiest thing I have knitted and I am a very beginner knitter.

How fortunate I had two balls of Noro in my stash, 
see, again the importance of a well stocked stash.
