The Awesomeness of Kureyon



I can't put this down. I love it so much. I have finished 3 balls and 25 rows. I have 3 more balls and 12 more rows to go plus fringe. I figured when I started this I might end up having to buy 3 or 4 more balls, but I'm still not quite sure. One of my earliest set of calculations suggested that by the time I get to row 30 I'm going to be using 1 ball per row. I sincerely hope that's not true.

The not-so-awesome part about Kureyon is, of course, KNOTS. Of those 3 balls, 2 had knots. I tried something new this time: instead of cutting and restarting like the books tell you to do, I pulled the knot as tight as I could, then gave it the old Spit and Spin until the strand was all felted up and the knot was no longer even visible, then just kept on going. I may live to regret this. BTW, I pulled out the end of Ball 4 already and, right at the beginning, a knot. I did cut that one off, though, and put that starting length with the ends I'm saving to use in the fringe.

That looks beautiful! I had the same troubles with Noro yarn. Very fun to work with, though.
