Birthday Yarn

For my birthday back in April, Mom sent me a few skeins of lovely Noro Chirimen yarn.  I was thrilled!  There was a shawl pattern I'd found a while back and had set aside, not having the right yarn for the project yet.  The pattern is called Milkweed Shawl, which I found through Ravelry.

I decided the use the Milkweed pattern for this Noro yarn.  I got so into it that I completed the project quicker than I usually do!  I ended up running out of yarn a few rows before the end of the pattern, but I was close enough to the end that the pattern still looks good.  I love how this shawl came together with the yarn!
