Another One to Add to the UFO Rotation
This is a Vivian Hoxbro Shawl. I started this last March and only have about 1/10th of it done. I love the shadow knitting and can't wait to see this one finished. Go here to see a picture of it:

Thanks Ruinwen. It looks more difficult than it really is. With this pattern and my grandson's sweater, two colors are used at any one time. The shawl actually has like 6 different colors, but only two at a time. You knit two rows with one color, then pick up the other color. So the other color only hangs out for one row, and then wrapped under the 1st color and worked it's two rows. Then the design is worked in different placements of the K and P stitches. Very interesting and easy.
