Ribbing

I just finished a knitted hat in Noro Silk Garden yarn using a ribbing stitch. It was knit two, purl two around the whole hat. Easy, and a nice change from stockinette. I got the pattern from Hip to Knit: 18 Contemporary Projects for Today's Knitter.

I love the bright colors and feel of the Noro Silk yarn. I used color 50, Royal, Pink, Aqua. I just wish they sold solid colors of the yarn. I'd love to use just the blues and greens in a tank top. I'm not too thrilled with the brown green or yellows in the yarn though.

I used the left over yarn to make a cozy for our GPS. It was based on a pattern from Stitch 'n Bitch : The Knitter's Handbook.
