Eisaku Noro, you are an evil, evil man. How dare you make such beautiful things possible, knowing we lowly knitters will be unable to resist them.
I am completely and hopelessly addicted to my Stripy Kureyon Scarf. I started knitting it at about 11 PM last night, and as of 4 PM today, it's already 28" long. I can't put the damn thing down, I keep wanting to see what colors come out of the skein next (the element of surprise being heightened by using a center-pull ball).
Kureyon is kind of notorious for being scratchy, but I soaked it for a bit (how-to here) and it's now quite a bit better. It's also softening noticeably as I knit it, and hopefully it will continue to improve with wear.
I'm using one ball each of #213 and #207. Pre-knitting shot:
#213 is the purple/green/orange skein and #207 is the blue/green one.

I know that draw rather well myself -- I've got four skeins of Noro for the same project sitting next to my desk. I keep holding off, thinking "But it's the middle of July, and if I don't take my time I'll be trying to find an excuse to wear a scarf in August."
Alas, I fear I'll be casting on soon.
I'm planning on rocking two skeins each of #195 (Black/Olive/Blue) and #207 (Purple/Yellow/Green).
I love the way your's is looking, though oogling it isn't helping me stave off my own Noro craving! XD
