Rav has a bunch of well-priced noro on some of the destashes or you could post an ISO. I just got lucky and picked up 5 balls for 4/ball with free shipping which I thought was a good deal. (I'm hoarding it for a large entrelac blanket)kerihttp://knittygrittythoughts.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32040200.post-44835755002575550182010-02-17T11:00:23.691-06:002010-02-17T11:00:23.691-06:00I just had to order two more skeins of noro to fin...I just had to order two more skeins of noro to finish the stashbusting sweater I was making for the ravelympics.<br /><br />Blame the noro! :-)Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532734471654743459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32040200.post-22274657099727440222010-02-17T04:07:07.560-06:002010-02-17T04:07:07.560-06:00I have a Noro.

Not sure how you feel about this, but perhaps you could post on Ravelry to see if people are willing to send you their leftovers for free? I think I've read examples of that in the past.caitlynhttp://knitterinthekitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32040200.post-1181690345306083092010-02-16T18:46:08.631-06:002010-02-16T18:46:08.631-06:00Little Knits often has good Noro deals!

Usually, if you tell your story (like your blog post did so nicely) people are willing to help. Set the project aside until you have enough to finish it.
