Knitting Meme

Out of the top 50 yarns on Ravelry (by number of projects):
Bold the ones you’ve used and would use again,
cross out the ones you’ve used and would not use again,
and italicize the ones you’ve never tried, but would like to.
Add comments as desired, and then pass the meme along to 5 knitters/crocheters.

4, Noro Kureyon, 7947 projects–  I have never used it, but I've used Silk garden

9, Lion Brand Wool-Ease Solid, 5554 projects–
10, Noro Silk Garden, 5410 projects–I used it for a hat.  Loved knitting it up.  Wears like hell.  Maybe it needs to be washed a few more times.  It's pretty but a bit rough.
