I purchased this past week 3 skeins of kuryeon from ebay store astrids dutch obsessions-
I am looking forward to the yarn arriving-the yarn was less expensive even with shipping from the Netherlands-
I haven't decided what I will make with it-any suggestions besides hat, scarf-

I love kureyon! It fulls well, but always takes me a little while to actually get it fulled as much as I like. I've made a couple of bags with it, and they're wonderful.
[edit: here's a link (http://www.xantha.org/gallery/felt/DSC_1181) to one of the fulled bags I made with it.]
There are a couple of noro books that use it for (knit) garments, but it's pretty scratchy for a garment, IMO.
I am working on tovesta (http://www.theknittinggarden.com/images/noro/books/cth-number2/tovesta-lg.jpg) currently (knit project, but you could crochet something similar), which is a big shoulder bag.

Elizabeth already pointed you to Marlo's patterns, which are great! I typically make up most of my crochet bag patterns and I don't follow any one pattern.
