Progress
I was rather disappointed with Noro's offering of Kureyon Sock. I resisted buying it at all for a while and finally succumbed because of the colours. I was never particularly successful in knitting a satisfactory sock from it - tried a fair isle pattern but it ended up too thick ( and would have been too expensive for my Sock of the Month club). I did knit a wrap shawl for a few balls of it in garter stitch and that is fairly successful - and warm but I don't even carry it it any more.
I do however, like their Silk Garden Sock - and have knitted a modular vest from this colour:

Rich
Reds
Lovely
And knitted a sock in this colour:

It is also modular with accents of black. Pictures to come once I have finalized the design.
The first result was too big so I am adjusting the gauge and doing it in this colour:

Recognize it? Yes, it is the same as the vest
Why fiddle with what works
I am happy with this one and will be photographing it and posting it to my website shortly
Happy knitting everyone
