WIP: Knitting with Noro

Warm weather has finally reached London, Ontario (for today at least)! I took advantage of the lovely weather to stroll down to my local knit store: Knit Stitch. After browsing through their lovely selection of yarns I decided on a skein of Noro Kureyon (worsted wight, 100% wool). I picked this skein for its bold, nicely blended colours. 

While I have many other WIPs (Works in Progress), I could not resist and began knitting the Kureyon as soon as I got home. I have decided to make an infinity scarf/ snood with the wool. I am using a Debbie Bliss pattern found in the Fall/Winter 2011 edition of her knitting magazine. It is a simple yet elegant pattern.

I am only a few rows in at the moment but I am already in love with the colours! The texture of the 100% wool combined with the variety of bold colours makes Noro Kureyon an absolute delight to knit. 

Lovely colours! I can't wait until I reach the yellows
and oranges I see hidden inside the ball. 

The first couple rows reminded me of cotton candy!
