Not Much WIP

I don't have much of a post today - no WIP pictures or anything :(

I have been working on my cardigan, gran's scarf and I cast on a new project last night - I'm making some leg warmers *grins* As the weather is getting pretty bad now, I thought it was about time I had something to keep my legs warm.

The only picture I do have is of some new yarn I bought. After a lovely weekend with my mum, we had a pretty horrible incident on Sunday morning (I don't want to go into lots of details, but essentially I was assaulted on the front doorstep. I'm ok, and the police are handling everything, but I'm feeling a bit out of sorts still).

On my way back home, I stopped at John Lewis to check out the yarn, and picked myself up some Noro sock yarn:


The bright colours just jumped out at me, and so I had to buy it. I've never used Noro before, I know it tends to split opinions, but I decided I should try it before making my own opinion!

  13. Geez, how shocking! I am glad you are ok -- it's good to take some time to adjust though :) I just made a scarf with some Noro yarn. It was ok. Loved the colors, didn't love the feel or drape. I guess my own personal jury is still out on that.

  14. Sorry to hear you had a bad thing happen. :( I hope you're okay. The Noro looks brilliant, and I hope you enjoy it. I am in the Noro-loving camp - the colours! But then I like rustic yarns, and don't mind yarns that aren't super soft.
