Late to the Party....Again...

By -
I just fell in love with Noro.  I think it is lovely as a table decoration....oh
that's right
I am supposed to knit with it.  

 Everyone swears it softens up beautifully.  I'm not revealing what I'm knitting with it yet...but I'll tell you this much:  Something told me it was time to knit on straights again.  I felt like knitting on straights.  

 The great thing about being late to this party is that the NORO I wanted is all on sale at Mosaic Yarn Studio.   Santa needs to get over there and pick up more NORO to put under our tree. 

 Side notes:

 My Holiday goal is the same as last year: Only purchase items that include FREE shipping.  This is just a game I play .....

 My Holiday goal is to stay on the Nordic Track .....this is not a game I play.....it is my favorite time of year; COOKIE time.  I must offset the cookie intake.  

 My Holiday knits are finished.  This year I knit enough early on to have the gifts I planned all finished.  I'm giving 4 knit gifts this year.  

 Any side notes this weekend ?

Love love Noro too.
I have the Noro magazine that came out this Fall and there is a sweater in there that I want to make for myself.
You say Noro is on sale at Mosaic I might just have to wander over there.

Noro has some VERY interesting color combinations. I knit a pair of socks a couple of years back.

They were a little heavy for Florida, but they wore unexpectedly well. They recently found a new home in Pennsylvania where they will get a lot more use.

Can't wait to see what you do with your Noro, other than decorating, I mean. LOL

LOL! Yes, the Noro is beautiful. I have a weakness for a beautifully dyed skein on occasion. How many times have I looked at the clock and thought, "Yeah, I have time for one more row." It's a bad decision almost every time!

I love Noro, but I also love Plymouth Kudo... mainly because my favorite LYS doesn't carry Noro.

My sweet tooth and I walk/run 20+ miles per week, but I'll start sliding by the firehouse gym and running on the elliptical too now that it's very cold. But wait... staying warm burns more calories, right?

Noro has great colors, doesn't it? Some versions are a lot softer than others, I've noticed. It makes great hats! Sounds like yu had a nice Thanksgiving!

Noro's colors are beautiful. I like knitting with Noro Sock, but not Noro Silk Garden. It took me a while to accept the thick/thin sections for which Noro is known.

I have a love/hate relationship with Noro. I love the colors, but am sometimes disappointed with the quality and the price. Looking forward to hearing what you think about it.
Hugs,

Noro is my absolute FAVORITE yarn brand. If I could afford to, it would be the only yarn I ever knit with.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
