I have a few new projects in the queue that I will be making.  First a second Summer Blooms Shawl by Susanna IC for my mom with this yarn and these beads. And then I will be making Cameo by Wendy Bernard for myself out of Noro Retro.  I am so glad that I was able to pick up this yarn.  I haven't seen it anywhere and I don't know if it's discontinued or anything.  It's a tonal grey color with bits of brown and white in there in some of the places.  Really looking forward to it!

Just purchased the newest Noro magazine for Fall 2012.  I love their yarn.  It's so unique and rustic, the garments in the mag are beautiful!  I could make them all! I am also working on weening down the sock stash with a pair of spud and chloe socks.  I had made a pair last year and they didn't fit quite right, so I unraveled them and will redo them toe up with some soft cables.

I just purchased my first noro yarn.  I have heard that it's awesome yarn to work with and the color changes are spectacular plus the colors are amazing.  So I weighed out my yarn and split it in half to make a pair of socks and I have to say that winding it on my nostepinne I could see all the color changes and they are indeed glorious!
