Like most knitter's I am not particularly faithful to any one project, unless it completely captures my attention like Falling Leaves. If another knitter in my immediate circle of influence were to show me a pattern that they thought was amazing - well, I would just have to put everything aside and get to work. Such is the story with the Pop Blanket - Julia found it and started it and now it's taken on a life of it's own. There's about 10 people working on these little amazing squares all at the same time.
They are addictive - and the whole reason must be Noro. These squares were all knit out of 1 ball of Noro Kureyon - with the border out of Cascade Ecological Wool 8010. I've been knitting for years and knit with Noro many, many times and I continue to be surprised what happens with one little ball. It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys! Truth be told, I didn't even really like this color of Noro for my blanket but I thought I would just go ahead any way. Guess what? When the colors were broken up - I liked them much better - can't judge Noro by the ball. Speaking of Noro - look what arrived! The Premiere Issue! Features 35 patterns all using Noro Yarns. How fun is that! Better come and get yours before they are all gone1
