The Noro!
That's colours 156 and 182. Both are beautiful! Here they are in skeins...
And wound into balls. 156 has teals, greens, browns, blues and burgandies. 182 is the rainbow colourway...everything from bright red to plum.
I also bought 3 balls of Katia Mexico, in a NEW colourway (to me that is). It's so springy, I'm in love!
Close up of the heartbreakingly beautiful colours!
This is colour 5852, know as "Easter"...a perfect yarn to have this weekend!
So, what to do with these lone skeins? Why, make more Calorimetries of course!
The result of 2 1/2 days of stress knitting (exams and papers, nuff said)
Calori #1 With Noro 182
I'm a little pissed, because the skien was two smaller ones tied together, so the colourway started over again, as you can see with the sharp green/purple contrast! I'm the only one who will notice, though!
And I think I'll use a gold button for this one...reminds me of a mini wheat.
Calori #2 with Mexico
I love this colourway to pieces!
It's getting a cute ducky button!
Calori #3 with 182 again.
I love the contrasts. I ran out of yarn a few rows short of the end, but I fixed it by using some Lett-Lopi in Royal Blue I had from splj 1. It matched perfectly in texture and colour!
See? the blue matches so well!
And this one is either getting a heart button or an elephant, haven't decided yet!
Calori #4 still to come...

OMG, I had no idea that this was available in Halifax. Where exactly is LK Yarns? I keep hearing Hydrostone Market or some such, but I've never actually known where /that/ is either. Help, please?
*steals your yarn and runs off to knit My So-Called Scarf*
ok, so, if you are on the corner of Robie and Young (the easiest way I know how to give directions from, walk east up Young (ie towards the Harbour), keep walking past a health food store, a paint place, and then, soon enoguh you'll see the Hydrostone Market. It's a bunch of stone buildings, and LK Yarns is pretty much the first store. The window has a sheep on it, so you'll see it! Hope that helps, I had a hard time finding it the first time, too!
