Welcome!

Hi, I'm Noriko, and this is my blog!

From now through 9/6, I will be donating 75% of sales from my self published patterns on Ravelry to those affected by Hurricane Harvey. . Yes, I bumped that up from my last post. After waking up to even more news of the devastation, I will be donating more. . Through the end of the year, I will donate 10% of all sales to various charities. They will rotate monthly; this immediate time, I'm bumping it up, and it will be for Hurricane Harvey. . Link in profile. All norichan knits patterns are included! . . . #norichanknits #hurricaneharvey #sharethelove #knittingcharity #knittinglove #knittersofinstagram #knitsagram #igknitters #handknit #indiedesigner

For the next week, 30% of all my self published Ravelry pattern sales (link in bio) will be going to various charities that are helping with the flooding from Hurricane Harvey. . My sweet little kitty originally came from Austin Pets Alive, an amazing no kill shelter in Austin. They have accepted over 200 animals from flooded areas to house and try to find homes for. One of my charitable donations will be going to them so that other sweet pets can find happy homes like Izi. . Other charities will include Save the Children, the food bank of Corpus Christi and Houston, and GlobalGiving. If anybody has other charities to suggest, I'm all open ears. . . . #knittersofinstagram #knittinglove #catstagram #catsofinstagram #charity #knittingcharity #norichanknits #knitaddict #igknitters #spreadthelove #handknit #donate #knittersgonnaknit

Hello everybody! (Hello, Dr Nick! j/k, j/k... I'm am not interrupting your feed with a Simpson's reference, nope!) . I'm just here to let you know that Rosencrantz is now available as an individual download on Ravelry! . Perfect timing for the upcoming Fall weather to roll in! Rosencrantz makes a fantastic transitional layer for the fall! . Wait, Fall?! That means Halloween! Does this mean I *need* a Halloween themed Rosencrantz?? Hmm... . . . #norichanknits #indiedesigner #knitweardesigner #knittersofinstagram #knittinglove #queenslandunited #knitaddict #marledfordays #handknit #igknitters #knitstagram #knittingaddict

If only there were more time for knitting!! It's not fair when I find perfect matches like these super sweet flower buttons that pair amazingly with this skein of @nanostitchlab !! . I've got plenty of knitting on the needles right now, but would love to dive into a project with this in mind. . Only thing holding me back is that I haven't found quite the right pattern yet. Anyone have a good suggestion? 😜 . . . #nanostitchlab #matchymatchy #yarnlove #startitis #castonallthethings #knittersgonnaknit #knittinglove #knitaddict #indiedyer #inspiration #knittersofinstagram #igknitters

Its a regular sparkly day over here!! . I am, apparently, starting a massive collection of @trufflesshuffle charms!! (I've got the bat on a project right now, otherwise he'd be included in this pic, too!!) . It's hard to resist Lisa Frank inspired unicorn charms when I've got the literal perfect yarn to pair it with. @willamette_valley_wool_company was spot on with her gorgeous sparkle yarns!! . Hmm... Is this the makings of another Sticker Book?? . . . #willamettevalleywoolcompany #lisafrankforever #sparklesfordays #yarnlove #handmadestitchmarkers #polymerclay #truffleshuffle #knittersofinstagram #knitaddict #norichanknits
