I have swatched both the Zitron Paradiso and the Triple Mohair Shawl, and the Triple Mohair wins for first up on the circular size 8's. The Rowan KidSilk Haze in blood orange and burgundy, plus the Filatura di Crosa in goldenrod do make a nice autumn tweed which does not show well in the scan. There is more depth to the colors. The Fiddlesticks pattern is simple and well written, and the whole thing will be a breeze. With the extra goldenrod, I have plans for several scarves.
The pattern has garter stitch rows (8) with a yo/k2tog row every so often. There is lots of lovely fringe, and the whole thing gets a nice zig-zag eding. It is not fancy but the yarn is pure luxury and speaks for itself! I am looking forward to this!
I will post the Zitron swatches tomorrow. Time to knit!
