The variegated nature of the yarn will make it gorgeous. I'd love to find a Noro yarn to love, but so far have been weirded out by the ones I've tried. I wonder what the design philosophy is for a company that doesn't mind having wood chips and straw in their yarn.......<BR/>I live in North Carolina, where the summers are both 90-to-100 hot and stick-to-yourself humid; I crawl from one AC'd place to another and wait for fall to rescue my sanity. The other three seasons are terrific, though.SusanJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588259473064083848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-20038234610521551622008-07-30T07:58:00.000-07:002008-07-30T07:58:00.000-07:00Vegas, huh?

If I did, my priorities would be yarn shops and bead shops, and I can find those in much more comfortable areas! Heck, I can find those online, without leaving the comfort of my cushy chair and (lightly) air-conditioned home. Guess where I'm going for vacation this year? <BR/><BR/>Yep. Nowhere. Ah, the thrilling life I lead. <BR/><BR/>The Noro is lovely, I can't wait to see it all done up.
