And that shawl was dead easy. It takes a bulky thick and thin, and a very fine yarn -- in this case 1 1/2 balls of Berroco Medley and a ball of crochet cotton. I cast on 60 stitches with the Berroco, worked one row, and then four rows with the crochet cotton.
That's the entire pattern -- one row thick-and-thin, four rows fine in garter stitch -- until you run out of one or the other. Cast off with the thick-and-thin.

It's entirely mindless knitting.
