Have you ever worked with Noro Yarns? 
We Love Noro any Noro the colors and the feel are magnificent.  As a matter of fact I just received a box of new yarns and most of it is Noro ** Silk Garden ** all time favorite and some **Aytori** and a new yarn **Kibou**  If you want to see all the different Noro yarns just visit Knitting Fever website, very difficult to decide on just one. 

Knitting Fever just posted this link on facebook and I had to share please go take a look press tab 2 and its a video on the manufacturing and ideas of the Noro company founder!!

The Zoom Jacket!!




















Remember my new obsession with the zoom loom?  I made a table mat but that was too quick for me so I'm experimenting on making a cardigan for Nickie.   I found in my stash of yarn a-plenty  a Filatura di Crosa "Tiffany" a sparkly cotton blend (only 3) then I supplemented with a bamboo to match also only 3 in stash.
Here in the picture below the cardi is almost done I still have add to the length. It's a little too short it's like a bolero therefore I have one more skein of bamboo which I'll use to add to the length.


















More pictures to come soon!!
