What would you knit up with some super-bright, bold yarn? Despite having weather more at home on an arctic tundra, we were wearing sunglasses at Knit Now HQ this week after coming across this amazing chunky knit neon yarn from Patons, as part of their spring summer 2013 collection.

Getting our hands on these intense shades in Fab Big and Fab DK got us thinking as to what we'd knit up in it. The overwhelming response was a pair of 80s retro legwarmers, but we started scouring the Knit Now archive to see which patterns we think would suit a neon makeover!

How about Susan Ainslie's Orange Flame e-book cover from the current issue?

Or you could make the city lights really shine bright with neon in Paula Schramm's City Lights Cowl from issue 13.

Jane Burns' Gamer Socks from issue 14 would look perfectly retro with a neon accent colour!
