Noro Whippoorwill

I think I'm addicted to this pattern, Whippoorwill.  I really enjoy the simple stockinette stitch.  The main part is knit with the new Noro yarn called Shiraito.  This stuff is 45% cashmere, 45% angora, and 10% wool.  It is incredibly soft.


Of course the most fun part of knitting with Noro is watching the colors emerge.  When you look at the Noro in the skein you never quite know how it is going to look when knitted.  Even after it's rolled into a ball it's still a surprise as you knit.


It will be quite a while until it's cool enough to wear this.  Until then I'll just look at it.
