FebruNORO??
Noro Hudson Cardi, complete with sewn-in zipper!
project: Hudson Cardi
source: Noro Knits
yarn: Noro Big Kureyon
color: #19 - grays, red, black
needles: #10.5 straights
I originally was going to try to match up the colors simply because I’m a glutton for punishment, but I have to say, I’m glad I just decided to go with it. The red in particular, being off, but still close, gives it an off-kilter, asymmetrical thing that I’m content with.
For some reason the hood felt like it took forever to knit. Guess I’m all ‘hooded’ out for now.
Good thing too, since I’m already on to something else. Remember that luscious brown Silkdream yarn from zknitter? Next time!
sKNITches update: will be tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 2nd at 11 a.m. EST. Not a very big update unfortunately, but new some colorways in both Bebop Sock and Syncopation this time.

I love how it turned out! I like the asymmetric coloring (thought I would also have fought with myself on whether to try and match it or not).
Love it!

That’s one winner of a sweater! I love the asymmetry of the color and how you have the perfect color T-shirt to match. I’m predicting a lot of wear for this one.

great fit and perfect zipper insertion
i really like that sweater pattern … the ribs make it more fitted/flattering. and, it’s *perfectly* off kilter!
