jen yu: whisper gioco scarf

This is a super soft scarf because Whisper feels like a cloud. Unlike the pattern, I opted out of the funky fingers at the end. This was my first attempt at knitting with two yarns. I find it much easier to have the yarns separate as Whisper has long lashes and tends to tangle easily. I think next time I would use a ribbon (Crystal Palace Mikado) instead of a railroad yarn like Gioco. Gioco is very pretty to look at, but the eyelashes tend to diminish the effect. Well, let's just say it has subtle sparklies to surprise the observant.
