That sounds gorgeous. I can't get what I want in a premade pattern, so I'm going to be designing my own, starting from the garter tab.
First off, it's a deep blue chunky yarn, but only two skeins, so it's not going to be huge. But I want a batwing shape shawl, so that it does NOT have that triangle pointing straight at the wearer's behind-- because it's annoying to sit down and strangle yourself with your shawl. (Snerk.BTDT!) I'm thinking of alternating a four row repeat of faggot lace (yarn over, knit two together, mirrored in the rows) with plain garter stitch, for the loft. Also, I'm wanting a solid, subtle edge in the panel, instead of using yarnovers for the increases.
Which, for those non-knitters all translates to: I'm enjoying the wool and the movement, and will probably have to redo the start five times before I get more than ten rows into the project!
