some stash photos

Well, since I joined Show me your Stash (see sidebar, please) I thought I would show you a little yarn porn of my own.

This is Noro Iro. I'm not sure what color it is, but it's gorgeous. I have a huge problem with Noro, specifically because I CANNOT resist buying it whenever I see it. I'm dead serious with that. I love the colors. I love the fiber. I just LOVE Noro. It's a sickness, really.

Well, with this lovely yarn, I'm going to make a pattern out of one of my Noro pattern books. I will be making Earl - the knitting bag- with this some day. I also have this Noro book, and I plan to make Kemp from that book, but I haven't yet found a shade of Blossom that intrigues me. (Which is perfectly fine because my "to-do" project list just keeps getting longer and longer, and I have about 4 WIP.) Jane Ellison is one of my favorite Noro Designers, and my goal is to one day own all of her books. Also, Debbie Bliss Noro Books are high on my list as well.

I'm traveling again this week as usual. I'm heading to Cedar Rapids tomorrow for a client thing, coming back to Des Moines on Thursday morning, then leaving Thursday morning for St. Louis to go to a funeral for my Great Aunt. She was 92. I saw her at Christmas, and she wasn't doing well, so it's nice that she's in the sky with the people that left her so long ago.

I'll be back next week, unless I get a chance to post before then.

That yarn is great! I've never used Noro before, but I think I should give it a try because everyone else seems to rave about it. The Earl bag will look super made with your yarn.

Happy Travels!
