noro goodness

i'm not sure whatever possessed me to purchase 2 balls of silk garden in a crazy rainbow colorway. it has been in my stash for at least a year (i believe at some point it was started as a multi-directional scarf). and then another crazy colorway was purchased shortly after in pink and purples. now you know i am a girl who loves pink, but pink and purple together is just way too 80's for me. but then, aha! the perfect project.



this scarf was inspired by the one in last minute knitted gifts, although as i mentioned before, i did a 1x1 rib. i have seen several beautiful versions in blogland. it is so much fun to see the noro knit up. although i really like this, it may be a gift. we'll see. i have visions of using kureyon on one for myself, colorway 95 of course.

however, that won't be started anytime soon, one, i don't have the yarn in my stash and i am doing my best to not purchase yarn. second, i have two things on the needles, both which are supposed to be a pair (they do not belong to each other). which of course means that i am tempting the fates of the second sock syndrome twice! oooohhh ahhhh. i plan on casting on for my 2nd mrs. beeton today so that should help. also, i am past the heel on my knit on 2 circs socks! i ran into a wee issue with picking up the side stitches so although i know a way to work around it, i am saving it to take to my knitting group tonight for a little advice. i have run into this a couple times on socks so i think i am mis-interpreting the technique.

ohh and one more shot of the noro goodness so you can see the lovely rainbow of flavors!
