I'd love to see what others are making with their Neon Rainbow Kits. I'm thinking of ordering some Seagull or Night Without Stars and making this: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/love-grows-here
But I'd love to see some other ideas too.

My daughter used 2 kits and a solid to make Stephen What's painting bricks shawl. It was gorgeous.
@Melanie Gillette Oh - that's a good idea too. I've been wanting to do one of his shawls.
@Starr Cookson That would be a great project for the Neon sock kit!
Here is a photo of my Painting Bricks shawl my mom was referring to. It was a fun (but long!) knit and I absolutely love it!
@Carey Bermingham Oh wow - that is gorgeous!! So it was 2 neon sock kits? And what did you use for the solid and how much? Thanks so much for sharing.
@Starr Cookson It used one full set, and then I had to dip into a second set for the last few repeats. Probably if you incorporate a 7th or 8th colour (I believe the original pattern used 8), then you wouldn't need a second neon set.
I used 2 full skeins of Natural for the main. I omitted the last two rows of the edging to make sure I had enough to do the icord bindoff. Lots of people used black or a charcoal, which I think would be gorgeous, too.
Stephen West has a video on weaving in ends as you go. Definitely worth doing as there would be TONS of ends to weave in otherwise.
@Carey Bermingham Good tip about the video - nothing like finishing a project and then still having so many ends to weave in!
@Carey Bermingham Super cool! That's a lot of knitting, but we do hate skimpy shawls around here. No worries with this one! LOL
Here's my Simee Dimeh shawl by Romi. I need to block it. I love this sock yarn. I had just enough of the blue yarn to finish up the picot bind off. YAY!
@Carey Bermingham That is gorgeous.
Wow! That turned out great Sheila!
@Sheila Sakraida That is lovely!
This pattern looks like another good one for the neon sock yarn.

@Starr Cookson That does look like a good project for the Neon Sock Kit!
neon rainbow shawl drying. 
Came across another pattern that the neon rainbow kit might work for.

@Carey Bermingham Not sure if you'll see this or not, but did you do anything special when you blocked it? Wondering if there is any risk of the rainbow colours running into the cream. Thanks!
@Starr Cookson I didn't have any bleeding but I did soak it in quite cold water (not lukewarm) with some Soak added in for about 20 minutes. Then I squeezed as much water out as I could. (Took some time as the water was really cold so it hurt my hands a bit squeezing it all out.) Then I did the usual towel roll and stepped on it to squeeze out even more water before using wires and pins to stretch it out on blocking boards. You have to work fast because if you get most of the water out, the yarn dries quite quickly. Good luck! Please post pictures when you're done!
@Carey Bermingham Good job Carey - the soaking water should always be cold not luke warm. We say cold becasue luke warm means different things to different people and usually its warmer than luke. HA!
