Look what I found in my mailbox today! Four skeins of Noro Kureyon in color #188, also known as, "Claudia, this colorway would be perfect for Liz, so why are you messing around with anything else?" I cast on the mini-Clapotis right away, and I'm already making progress. Lately all I've had to knit on was a sock, and while I love to make socks and all that, I have been languishing in between larger projects. This is really fun; I attempted a Clapotis a couple of years ago with some godawful chenille on aluminum needles (which I hate), and it was not enjoyable. I hadn't yet learned how to 'read' my knitting, so I was constantly losing track of where I was and what was going on. Tedious. But this time it's just flying. Once I get to the stitch-dropping part I think it's really going to bloom. I just love how this yarn knits up. I mean, come on, how amazing is that?

I adore Noro Kureyon! I knit myself a pair of cabled fingerless mittens (the Fetching pattern from Knitty) and they were my favorite things ever and then BARTLEBY ATE THEM. Sigh.

noro kureyon is my crack. which sucks because we don't sell it at our shop (the distributor is horrendous--they also distribute debbie bliss, elsebeth lavold, louisa harding, etc). but i can't get enough of it. i have two skeins sitting on my desk and staring at me.
debbie bliss? Sounds like a character from Barbarella...
Oops, sorry if that is a real name. And I mean NO offense to the product. (Just a musing thought.)
I'm making a sweater in this Kureyon colorway right now. I love it. It looks great in Clapotis too.
