I found a treat in Zellers (Yes, Zellers) the other day. It looks like Noro Silk Garden, It sort of feels like Noro, it even knits up much like Noro. But, it is not Noro. It is BERNAT. More then Half off the price, machine washable and does not squeak even though it totes a 100% Acrylic fiber content.
I am having fun making a no pattern drop stitch scarf. This among a small selection of other projects on the go such as a real Noro Retro sweater in the pattern of Klaralund. Actually, this is self admittedly the second attempt at this lovely sweater. The first was a fail that turned into a giant pillow that was also a fail and it did not keep shape. I was using a super heavy acrylic blend though. I decided on attempt two to use the correct fiber.
Domie, my little star, picked his own yarn for a cute top down striped sweater I am designing on the cuff. SO far so good. Hooray for soft washable wool.
So, I suppose my knitting hiatus is over, though, my yarn addiction I am proud to say has ceased to dominate. I made a policy of one project stash between every purchase. Ok, I have one stash on needles and the other two new additions, but, who;s really counting:)
