it's not yarn porn, it's yarn art.
So today we were taking inventory of what items we'd knitted from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, since we'll be doing a demo from it next month. The page fell open to the hand/wrist warmers, and we all said, "oooh", and then I read that one pair took ONE skein of Cash Iroha, so I went bounding over to the Armoire du Noro, picked out a color (a murky blue, like my eyes) and cast on. Boy, it was easy. I only have one done, but it's great. It was super easy and it's super soft and super warm. I have the toastiest left hand ever.
I took a picture. Grace, this is all for you, baby.
Hee hee.
The color is off a little, but it was the best I could do under the halogen lights without the flash.

I'm trying to have time to make those for Joyce (in some shade of purple, no doubt) for Christmas. They look like even I would find them reasonably easy, I hope.

I started to post here about the Cash Iroha and I was so focused on the yarn that I didn't even notice what the picture was, until I'd looked at the yarn about six times. Anyway, yes! Cash Iroha! That might be the perfect yarn!

Kate! You are FABULOUS. I love this picture! We are so doing the book! Oh yeah, the warmer looks great, too. Can't wait to see the picture when you get the other one done! ;)
