Noro yarn and a cotton top disaster

Well, the Frou Frou top is now complete, blocked and still totally not to my taste.  Although the side panels are hanging a bit better it is just not the way I wanted it to be.  As we are in the process of moving house at the moment I have added it to the pile of clothes that will be going to the charity shop.
More successful is the the latest version of the Belmondo Shawl in the Noro Yuzen that I purchased at Olympia earlier in the year.  It is not the softest yarn but the colours are lovely.

I came across a ribbed scarf that I knitted years ago from Noro Silk Garden and never wore.  The colours are beautiful, so I've frogged it and started another Belmondo.
