Kim Knits: Well, I decided

Well, I decided

my next project will be Lady Eleanor from Scarf Style. Now I just have to decide on the yarn. My orginal thought was to use a lighter yarn in a solid color like this one but then I started looking at Noro and I like some of the more sublte colorways. I have to take my daughter to the LYS this weekend for her second knitting class so I will have a chance to check out the Noro in person. I am going to look at bothSilkGarden and Kureyon.

If you have Scarf Style, have you noticed the blurry pictures of the projects? Kimmish pointed that out to me and she is right! Each and every picture of the completed projects is bulrry. you try to look at the detail and it just isn't there...what is up with that?!?!

If you have any suggestions for yarn for Lady Eleanor...feel free to leave me a note :-)

Kim said...: Did you also see the fancy knitted intestine?

That's a great stole/wrap thing.. I like the texture of it.. make sure the yarn you pick doesn't take away from that.. Maybe a subtle noro wouldn't.. I guess you'll just have to see : ); 1:21 PM
