Kureyon

This is what I've worked on over the last week. It's the Noro Kureyon sock yarn which I've scarfed as usual. It's in it's unblocked state at present but you can see the idea. Pattern may be up as a freebie later on.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE this yarn but I would not use it for socks. It's quite slubby and while overall it's classed as 4 ply, the thickness varies from cobweb to almost aran weight at times. I can see that if you socked it you might end up with thin patches. There is a nylon content to it according to the ball band but, as I can break it quite easily, I'm not sure that it would be very hardwearing as socks.

My lacy Xmas project is being done, but very slowly, as I have to follow the pattern religiously - so unlike me! However, the result will be worth it, I feel.

Bizarrely, I've got hooked on darts on the TV - genius mental arithmetic plus odd looking men - what's not to like?
