Shawl for a journey

I've just finished knitting 'Citron' a free pattern by Hilary Smith Callis on Knitty. It was really, really easy, even though there were a great deal of stitches by the last ruffle and I cut it short by a couple of rows because I was out of wool having used a ball of yarn with a few metres already pinched for another project.

A brilliant knit while on a long journey in the car again (and afterwards too), where I could knit away with relatively little concentration, but the choice of colour changing yarn made it interesting.

The Noro (Silk Garden- Sock) I used seemed to soften after I washed it before blocking - still, I think this will be once to be worn over a top, not next top the skin. I love Noro colourways, I just wish they had the tactile quality of some of the other yarns I use.
