I simply could not resist joining a KAL for November. This particular KAL is using any pattern of choice, but the yarn can only be Noro. I will be heading to Needler’s Nest to pick up several skeins of Noro’s Silk Garden – that is my favorite – and will be knitting a hat and matching scarf. Check out http://minxknits.blog-city.com/norovember2008.htm. I love Noro Silk Garden and created a beret and scarf that was given a couple of years ago as a Christmas present to my friend Claudine. The finished projects are to the right. I truly think this was the nicest yarn for knitting and the colors are fantastic. I love the earthy tones. I will keep you posted on my progress for November. I did find another KAL for the Irish Hiking Scarf at, http://irishhikingknitalong.blogspot.com/ and this is a perfect opportunity to knit my scarf for Michele. The scarf will look like the photo I’ve included, but I will be using Plymouth’s Suri Merino and will be using three different colors for the cable stiches. I’m excited!
Happy knitting to all and make sure to join a KAL this fall. It’s a great opportunity to have fun and make great projects for Christmas gifts or for yourself!
