Tasty Tuesdays: Shinano!

Posted by Virtuous at 11/27/2007

What is Shinano? Doesn't it look familiar??

Well why of course my 1st yarn luv!!!

I discovered that NORO's Shinano is discontinued after trying to track it down for a pattern I wanted to use it for

So I was able to purchase some from a wonderful Raveler who had it listed as a for sale item :o)It came via airmail from Canada just for me in all of its 65% wool and 35% silk = very warm project!

The underbelly is showing the colorway to be in color #8

Lets hope I can hurry up and CO for my NOROvember project!! :op HA!

   Norovember! Heh! Love that! And I've never knit with that but it looks amazing...I've actually never knit with Noro at all before. Not sure how I've avoided it because I love the colors!

   I love Noro as well, I just bought some silver thaw, and it is really soft, as I sometimes find Noro a bit scratchy. Can't wait to see your FO! AND it makes you that bit nearer to your SB!!
   
   What is that gorgeous looking food???? I am on Weight Watchers and it looks yummy...but baaaaad!!!!
