Betty's "New Shale" Kureyon Scarf

I enjoy knitting chevron scarves with Koigu KPPPM, but for this average knitter it's slow-going. For more immediate satisfaction, I decided to try using Noro Kureyon and larger needles (free pattern at end of post).

Here's the first attempt. I chose 3 skeins of Kureyon in different colorways, then wound each into 3 balls. I knit the scarf selecting balls randomly.

This version uses two skeins of Kureyon, alternating every 2 rows.
Here's the detail:

Watching the colors unwind and interact is mesmerizing!

Here's the pattern, if you'd like to give this project a try:

Repeat rows 3 through 6 for length of scarf, ending with row 4 and saving enough of color A for two more rows. As you knit, you'll be carrying the color of yarn not used along the side of the scarf. Make sure to keep tension even along each side.
