Noro Socks
Yesterday I enjoyed my last day in Seattle by heading to the U-district for their street fair. I finished the Noro socks while waiting for some bubble tea.
Yarn: Noro Kureyon Sock #40
Started: 5/11/08
Finished: 5/17/08
There was actually a second knot in the yarn on the same sock right before the toe, but thankfully this one kept the color sequence.
Other than the knots I didn't mind knitting with the Kureyon Sock. The yarn is not particularly soft, but the knitted socks feel much softer than the unknitted yarn, and I'm assuming a couple of washes and wearings will soften them up a bit more. I certainly don't think my feet will have a problem with them. The colors, as usual, are gorgeous.
After that I headed out to Ballard with some newly cast on RPMs to meet up with Chelc and watch the 17th May parade (Norwegian Constitution Day). I don't think I've ever actually *watched* it - in the past I was in it. It definitely seems longer, or maybe it is longer since that was a few years ago. In either case it provided some good knitting time.
After a bit of Rock Band I headed back to home base, packed my bags, and flew back to Boston.

gorgeous socks. those colors are amazing. :)
I like how the Kureyon sock knit up!
Those socks are awesome Stariel. I just bought some of the noro sock about a week ago.
Oh, and can I tell you how sad I was to finally catch up on the last episode of Fiber Cult and discover you guys were gone?! :(
I'm hoping eventually you miss it so much that you will all come back to record again. :)
The Noro colors are so lovely but I HATE the way the yarn feels. I'd love to know what happens after you wash them a few times. I'd put up with a short period of rough socks if they soften up with time. The colors are just so amazing!
Love the colors on the Noro socks. I have a skein of this yarn and it's waiting for some inspiration. I think I'm going toe up on them, making them as long as I can possibly make 'm. I wish I had more time to knit, but between my job, scouting and my social life it hasn't been easy to get any knitting done - or blogging for all that matters.
dang, you were oh so close to my house!
They're beautiful. I love the colors, but the lack of give in the yarn really kills my hands.
WOuld you, could you knit while flying through the air on a zip line? Love the colors of your socks. Great glacier pic's.
