My first week's progress....this was the pair on Monday morning. I am ahead of my goal! I began the first sock on Monday and started the second sock on Friday.Only 16 socks to go! Maybe I will get a bit ahead and then work on a harder pattern (or a bigger sock. There are some man-socks that have been promised
I have decided in Ravelry to list each sock as a single--so a completed sock shows as 100%, rather than a pair showing as a completed sock. We don't need pairs, we need single socks!
I am REALLY loving the Noro here, more than I have ever loved Noro before. The thick and thin is interesting, rather than distracting. The texture is pleasantly rough, feels like an honest wool (and I hope it will wear like honest wool!) The colors develop wonderfully, but do not HURT each other like the stripes do in a larger garment. The socks work as a pair...and I think I could combine two SINGLE noro colorways to make a pair as well.
In fact, I am loving the Noro so much I make take to the edge and keep knitting with the ball--BoyWonder likes the colors and has already requested socks from this yarn. So I may start his sock right away. The ball has 450+, but I am unlikely to get 2 kid socks out of it. Maybe HE can be the first to wear planned mismatches--there will certainly be more Noro in my near future. I bought 4 balls from The Loopy Ewe so I had better feel the love.....

It is not fair how fast you knit. The socks are wonderfully colored - but come on, Noro socks? Can unravelling Brillo pads be far behind (haha)? Keep on keepin' on!
You're a machine! A sock-knitting machine! :-)
Love the Noro -- was gonna ask you where you found that around town (rumor has it that Lettuce Knit carries it), but I see you got it from Loopey Ewe. I have to stay away from that website -- too many enticing things there!
The noro looks great! And now that you've shamed me, I must go work on the socks that I was knitting for Peter's Xmas present ...
They look great, I love the colors
Hey, I like the socks but I LOVE the toenail polish remnants. THey look like mine.

I LOVE THE COLOR!!!!! I bought some NORO sock yarn but had planned to do a shawl. Please let us know how the NORO wears. Lettuce Knit does carry the sock yarn. They have a great selection of NORO yarns. I'm considering a Lady Eleanor in Silk Garden Lite.
