Okay, this shawl has a strange name. But it was fun to knit. Plenty of garter stitch and a fairly easy lace edging on every row. As a bonus, the side-to-side construction meant I could use pretty much every bit of my handspun and hand-dyed Polwarth yarn.
The trick is to divide your yarn into two equal balls (I don't have a scale, so I roughly measured the yardage as I wound it onto my swift). Then when you reach the end of one ball, you stop doing increases and start doing decreases. I used about 420 yards altogether.
It's a happy shawl and I should really wash and block it. The yarn was lovely to work with from the spinning through the knitting.
