Confessions of a Noro addict, and other stuff

As I've stated, I'm addicted to Noro ... so much so that I've become a yarn-pusher.  Sorry if you're the recipient of my yarn pushing, I just can't help sharing the high with like minded people. 

Anyhow, here's more proof -- the Knot Cable Cardigan from DEBBIE BLISS NORO #2, overall an excellent pattern book.  Here's one sleeve, with another sleeve, in Noro Kureyon #40.
