My mom's been after me for ages to make her a pair of socks. We went to the yarn store to pick out some colours for her, and I came home with these beauties.
Noro is a Japanese yarn that really reminds me of lovely Japanese flower gardens, all bright and a little misty and magical. I see this stuff everywhere and I lovelovelove the colourways, but I've never actually bought any before. This particular kind is the Kureyon sock yarn, and it feels a little rougher than what I usually like to buy, but I'll give it a go.
The purple and blue is what my mom picked for her socks, and the green and teal... well, I'm sure I'll find some good use for it.
The only downside to this venture is... I've never made socks before. And I am stabbing the bloody life out of my fingertips with these teeny-weeny double-pointed needles that I have to use.
Just look at the pink in that skein. I want to make a fabulous accessory out of it. :D
