New project on my needles is a Hex Blanket in Noro silk garden sock. I found six skeins of this crunchy sock yarn in my Mom's stash. I love Noro colors, but knew I did not want this particular yarn anywhere near my skin, crunchy indeed.
I picked this particular pattern because the stitches for each new block are picked up from the previous blocks already finished. No sewing 472 blocks together at the ned of the blanket project.
The long color changes in Noro yarns make it perfect for this blanket. Looking forward to having that patchwork look without having to mess around with placement issues.
Joining Ginny, Nicole & Tami today. What's on your needles?
Later!

Very pretty hexagons and such lovely looking yarn!
ReplyDeleteNothing like some colour to brighten up these winter days ... though I too am very much looking forward to retiring the snow shovel.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I too have some Noro that may need this treatment, I may go dig it out!
ReplyDeleteyeah, what is up with noro silk? so prickly. love the hexes they look . the noo colors really work well with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea for that yarn. I find it does not wear well as socks either. And I certainly wouldn't want it too close to my skin.
ReplyDeleteI'm not nuts about Noro next to my skin either. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooking beautiful!
