A woman obsessed....: Blashphemy

Blashphemy

I may be the only person in the blogiverse who thinks this, but

I think Noro makes hideous yarn, and that hideous yarn turns in to very expensive, very hideous garments.

Save yourself the heartache and make a scarf or a hat- horizontal stripes in muddy, blurry colors look awful on EVERYONE.

Just my not so humble opinion!

I made one of my convertible shrugs (http://wbnmotn.blogspot.com/2005/10/dont-read-if-youre-on-my-gift-list.html) from Silk Garden, and for the most part, I liked it.; 12:36 PM

That's the first time I've used Noro and I probably wouldn't buy it on purpose but I've seen other knitters FO's that are just beautiful. Go figure - you sure can't see its potential in the skein.
Or maybe it's the recent crop that doesn't appeal to me...; 1:21 PM
