This week's Movie Monday featured Gwenyth Paltrow in the biopic of tortured poet, Sylvia Plath. In this screen shot, she's wearing a garter stitch scarf. It reminded me of versatility of the simplest of garments, and how relaxing it is to knit a repetitive stitch. You worked hard, prepping for the holidays so now, treat yourself to something easy! Using Simply Soft or Simply Soft Paints, cast-on 28 stitches to size US 8 (5mm) needles; knit every row until desired length; bind off.
