The thought of letting two gradients play off each other is so exciting. What will happen? Will this section here match up with that colour there? How will it look?

This shawl is addictive: all knit stitches and slipped stitches, you really get into a zone, eagerly racing for the next colour change. The pattern is adjustable to the yardage you have available.
