close knit: the neighborhood yarn shop
There are at least six fresh shades of Kureyon in the shop. It took us a few minutes to find them all, but they are sure pretty. All you Noromanicas out there, come and get it!
Three and a half years since we first talked about it on the blog, the Noromania Blanket is still a hot topic at Close Knit. This pattern is so easy and fun to knit. It's all garter stitch, two rows of one color and then two rows of another. It's also very adaptable to your personal taste. Some folks have made theirs with all neutral Kureyon, some use one unifying color and add in splashes of other shades, some use just two colorways throughout, and some crazy people just knit whatever pops out of the knitting basket next!
It seems like we talk with knitters daily who are anxiously awaiting our next shipment of Noro Kureyon. It's your lucky day! Our shelves are full of a lovely range of colors.
Come on in and get it while the selection is good. And if you're working on a blanket, consider adding some photos to the Ravelry pattern page to inspire other knitters!
Sometimes we all need a little calm and comforting knitting. If you find yourself in need of some distraction these days, might I suggest a bright chunky blanket on big needles?
The latest Noro magazine features the Kureyon Air in these three big, cozy blankets. Each one requires six skeins of Air and a US15 needle. The stitch patterns are just enough to keep your mind engaged but not at all difficult.
We have this lovely Quick Slip Cowl sample in the shop to show off this lovely yarn. You'll need just one skein of Air for this, and the fabric looks great on both sides.
Sally has already been cranking on her bulky version of the Noromania Blanket (US17 with 71 stitches). Choose six skeins in two colorways, and take comfort in your knitting.
