Welcome to my blog, named after the less-famous elevation of my suburb here in Colorado (the more-famous being 5280, that of Denver). Here you'll find me pondering life and knitting, and everything in between. Thanks for visiting, and drop me a note!

Thursday
Klaralund and other confessions of a Noro addict

As you know, I'm a self-confessed Noro addict.  I currently have two Noro sweaters in the works ...

1) my Karlsro, in Silk Garden #84, which I call "Crimson Reds," and is really reds/ rusts/ pinks/ a little green.  What a great color scheme!  I just love these colors so much!  Photo to come, with more commentary on ERRATA that I believe I found (or else I just screwed something up and had to fix my own mistake) ... tomorrow!  I MUST finish this by the end of Sept, and where there's a will there's a way.

2) my Debbie Bliss Cable Knot Cardigan Sweater ... hmmm I don't think I have talked about this yet, so I'll be off to my stash drawer later to take photos.  It's in Kureyon (not Silk Garden), color #40, which I believed I call "Bright blues / greens".  I have one sleeve completed, and working on the other.  My goal: Finish this by Thanksgiving, as it is such a cold weather sweater ... I can't wear this in Colorado in September, after all! 

[Location note for those who aren't familiar with Colorado:  People often think that Colorado is cold, snowy, and mountainous ... well, it is in the mountains, but not in the metro area where it certainly snows, but we also get warm weather.  I remember wearing shorts to my Dec. finals one year at the U of Colorado - Boulder, when it was almost 80 degrees!]

So ... why am I an addict?

I've signed up for Klaralund -- here's the photo:


It's from Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton #2, available here, and I haven't yet decided what color to do.  There's a Klaralund-along going on right now.

Ahhh.... can't wait!  I'll finish this by the end of Sept, then off to finish the cable knot sweater.



What? You don't think that this is *truly* a Noro addiction?  Well, then, let me throw in one more FO as proof:



This is  my son Conor, wearing a hat that I designed, that I call his "Noro Mitered Squares Hat."  I know, I'm so very original, aren't I?  Anyhow, it quite obviously is a Noro hat with mitered squares around the rim. I'm thinking of writing up a pattern for this and seeing if it sells on eBay in my store

Here's another photo, not the best to show off the squares, so I'll have to try for more: 



Kudos for now, and as my friend Lisa says,
Cheers and sunshine from Colorado!
