This is one that you've
seen a little bit of. It's a new-ish pattern in that you
haven't seen a blocked specimen yet, but I have just had it test knit (successfully, yay).
So here she is, in Misti Alpaca light blue.

I like this pattern. I guess I should, since I slapped the stitch patterns together. There's something simple, but fun about knitting it. I used rule of 10 for the first 2, and then a 12 for the border.
This is now officially the largest of the shawls, coming in at around 5 feet long down the center spine. Want to see?

| Yep, that is almost brushing the hearth. |
In order to get a decent detail shot on the dress form, I had to take 2 pictures.

See what I mean? This was knit on size 3 needles. Amazing what blocking does, no?

| I actually like this shot. |

For fun, I also knit a cashmere/merino/silk one on size 2. She's also blocked, finished and photo'd, but as shawl 10 I figure she deserves her own post. So here we have it, Mary Mary Quite Contrary. You are now dubbed Shawl 9.
