Waaaay back in November I cursed, swore and loudly proclaimed that I would NEVER knit with Noro Kureyon again. When the socks were finally finished I heaved a great sigh of relief and tried to put the experience behind me.
Then I started wearing them. Everytime I looked down and saw them peaking out from my jeans it gave me a little thrill. They were just so cool! I even forgave the orange.
So what did I do yesterday? See for yourself....
Somehow I just know that I am going to regret this purchase. But the colours were calling to me.
Meanwhile, I have another pair of socks off the needles. These are Online Supersocke Cotton, colourway 946. These are the first pair of socks that I have made using a cotton blend.
The bitterly cold weather that we have had since December is still not letting up very much. It has been slightly warmer, but I am really ready to get a break from it. Between the frigid temps and the short days it is getting to be a bit much. The kids left for school about 8:40 this morning and as I went back into my office and looked out the window the lightening sky it was tinged with lovely shades of blue and pink. It made a nice change from grey, slate and sludge coloured.

Dear Darcie,
I must share the same ADD DNA (tee hee). I crave the ordinary order too.
I think I love Christmas. But it overwhelms me.
I love the mauve and blue sock yarn in your photo.
I will send you the blue and mauve yo-yo shawl to wear with the socks.
Much love,
Granny Nanny
You know that sky almost mirrors your new yarn...
I *love* those Noro socks. I have a ball of Noro in my stash right now. I don't know when I'll get to it, but now I'm dying for that same colorway you have! :-)
Ohmigosh! The socks are cool and the colours in the new Noro are gorgeous!
I must admit to feeling the same way about Noro - can't stand it, but it's just so darn pretty!
Hmmmm, I'm going to learn socks this year (20 years and I've not knitted 1 LOL) if they click with me, I just might have to get some. Is it soft?
Darcie, I have some noro sock yarn and have been hesitant. Does it really get soft? The socks turned out beautiful.
The Noro softened up quite a bit after washing. I also used a generous dollop of hair conditioner.
My feet must have no nerve endings in them. Once a sock is on my foot I tend not to feel them anymore.
