Entry: Confessions of a Noro addict, and other stuff Thursday



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.

And why are my photos so yellow?? Note to self: FIGURE THIS OUT!
