Light
I'm so happy the light is coming back again! When I come home from work at around 6 o'clock, it there is still enough daylight to take a decent picture of my knitting. I have to be quick though, it lasted about 5 minutes today.
This is the result:
It's the scarf I'm making from the Noro Kureyon # 153 I bought at the needelecraft fair last Friday. It's coming along nicely, although I have some reservations about its width. I've made a Kureyon scarf before, casting on 34 stitches, which I was happy with. Just to make this one a bit different, I cast on 40 stitches. Somehow, I find it's turning out a little on the wide side, maybe about 6 stitches too wide.... I guess I'll let it rest a couple of days, see how I feel about it then. If I still don't like it: to the frog pond it goes!

This is a variation on the one in Last Minute Knitted Gifts, right? Yours is pretty, with nice restful colors; I hope you won't rip it out. :-)

What a nice use of the koreyon! I hope it will turn out like you want! Fleur

Very nice! I looked at your other Kureyon scarf -- is it knitted in a k1p1 rib? From the photo both look a bit like a stockinette stitch, but I don't see the edges curling.
Regards,
Debra

You use the colors to such nice effect by striping this yarn-- I've never thought to use Kureyon in such a way before. In the past when I've encountered Kureyon, I found the color changes to be a bit jarring, but this design seems to maximize the potential of these variegated colors.
I also find Kureyon to be a little on the scratchy side-- does it bother you at all for a next-to-the-skin accessory like a scarf?

Your scarf is beautiful! Are you just alternating rows with each ball of kureyon? I was going to do a multidirectional scarf with my silk garden but now I think I may have to try this pattern instead. :) (I love Panther, by the way...the photo of her inspecting your Mermaid sweater a few posts back was priceless).

Ha Saartje,
wat een prachtige dingen maak je!
ben zelf sinds een paar maanden breiverslaafd geworden en begin me er steeds meer in te bekwamen.
de mermaid van Hanne Falkenberg zou ik ook graag eens breien, vergt waarschijnlijk veel geduld, maar vereist het ook een buitengewone breikennis of zijn de technieken voor een beginneling als ik ook onder de knie te krijgen?
fijne dag! Anne
