Obsession #185

Noro Kureyon Yarn, #185

I am obsessed with Noro Kureyon, color #185. I'm a 185-a-holic. I have lots of this colorway. I'm afraid that Noro may discontinue it one day. There's something about this particular combination of colors that just knocks me out. I suppose I could just put solid yarns together in stripes, using similar colors, but it just wouldn't be the same.
I have knit and crocheted many projects with this colorway.

Last night at the WeHo SnB, Lauren suggested that I fashion a costume for next year's Halloween Stitch 'n Witch where I become a skein of Noro Kureyon #185. Excellent idea, Lauren...thanks!

I will continue to knit and crochet with this incredibe colorway, as long as it survives. Cheers to #185, Noro and to you! Have a great weekend!

  2. Isn't it neat how everything knits (and crochets) up differently, color-wise?

    I do love Noro colors!

  5. Hey Lei...

    The FANtastic scarf is really a bookmark pattern by Crochetroo. You can find directions (English, Australian and American) here:

  6. So I have to wonder - what do you think a Noro stripe scarf would look like if you used two skeins of #185 but started the second skein at a different point in the color sequence?

  7. You have most excellent taste in colorways!

    How many skeins of the sock yarn will you need for the Sarafina?

  8. It really is a gorgeous colourway! I think I might have to add it to my small but growing collection of Noro. =]
