Madame Defarge probably isn't welcome there EITHER
Ravelry: it's like Facebook! It's for knitters and crocheters! It hit the New York Observer! It spawns four pages of grudgewank! It's like a concentration camp, in a way!

The thing about Noro is that we're convinced that there is a man in Japan who makes sure that each marvelous, fabulous colourway has a colour in it that you will hate. That you didn't see when you bought the skeins.

For my friend, it means all her Noro has surprise!Pink.

That's pretty awesome and... probably pretty true. And you can always tell that the surprise!color is the one they tied in with all the knots!

I've heard that about Noro, which add to my feeling that my allergy is a boon!

When I finished up my Noro shawl, the fashion police aka my teenage daughter opined that it was really nice, but why did I knit it in such ugly colours?

Just what you want to hear after all that work, of course! I secretly like the occasional touch of lurid pinks or acid greens, but I know better to randomly throw them into the dyepot. There was a sunset last night that had just a hint of lurid pink against the buttercup yellow, bottle green and clear cornflower blue of the sky and now I'm itching to dye some yarn like that.
