« Kureyon scarf | Main | A great trip to France »

I love Noro Kureyon
It's all washed and dried, softened up considerably. I give you:
A finished scarf! Here are the statistics: 34 stitches, k1p1 rib, 5 mm circular needles, 14 cm (5.5 inches) wide, 175 cm (70 inches) long, 142 g (5 oz), almost 3 balls of Noro Kuryeon #153, bought from Wolhalla [tot 21 maart 15% korting op het hele assortiment, dus ook Noro!]. Alternating two rows from one ball, and two rows from the second ball. Easy as pie and very effective.
A close up:
In the meanwhile, my Opal socks have been getting some attention too. I'm usually not into self-striping yarns, but this one is lovely.
Every now and then, I've been making a Latvian mini mitten. And just as I expected, our cats just love to play with them. This is how they end up most of the time:
When the cats are hungry from playing, they walk over to their feed bowl, drop their toy in it, and start eating. Cats still amaze me.
A short break
I probably won't be blogging next week. We're going on a trip to France (Dordogne) with T's family. We're leaving tomorrow and returning next Saturday (the 18th). If I can find a computer with internet acces, I'll try to post from there, but I'm not counting on it.
See you when I get back!

Your scarf is lovely, I like the idea of using two balls of the same colour like that!

Ohh you're scarf is lovely. Amazing what Noro can do when handled well.
I love the story of your cat's habit with the toy! So cute! I have 2 and they amaze me all the time!

The scarf looks indeed great. Nice stitch definiton. And the effect you get of two balls of the same colour is wonderful.
Have a nice week in Dordogne! You might try to visit some of the prehistoric caves, they are so amazing!

i have a kureyon scarf that i knit in a 'tube' to learn how to use circular needles. its a million colors because i bought a bunch of different colorways, rolled mini balls and randomly picked them out of a bag. I love that scarf, and I love how it is a tiny bit scratchy. I wear it all the time, even when its not that cold out.

That self striping yarn looks good! So does the scarf. I've never knit with that yarn before.
Knit on!

Beautiful scarf. I love the way the colors turned out. The sock is looking good, too!

I love your Opal yarn. I must try to knit a pair of socks one day (never did, but I am a beginner in knitting!^^).

He Saartje, goede vakantie gehad?
Ehm... Daan en ik krijgen 14 april de sleutel voor ons nieuwe huis. Je komt er langs met de trein trouwens, dus je kunt het al gaan bekijken!
De 14e gaan we naar de schouwburg, dus kom je dan ook het huis bekijken???
Groetjes, Mariken
PS Ik hoor over breiwerken te praten, weet het...
