Finished the shawl I was working on at Rob's party a few weeks ago. Pattern written out below so I can link to it from Ravelry. Will try and get photos up soon.
Possible names (would appreciate input):
"Butterfly Wisp"
"Polo-collar Shawl"
"Polo-playin' Butterfly"
A small drop-stitch shawl with a garter-stitch collar.
1 skein DK weight yarn (I used reclaimed yarn from an unravelled thrift-store sweater)
Size 15 (10mm) circular needle
Size 8 (5mm) straight needles
Gage: approx 4 st=inch.
Body:
CO 5 st on circular needle.
Row 1&2: K to end.
Row 3: (K1, YO 3 times) to last st, K.
Row 4: (k1, drop YOs) to last st, K.
Row 5&6: CO another 5 st, K all st.
(15 st)
Repeat drop-stitch pattern from Row 3, increasing by 5 st on each 5th & 6th row, until stitches total 85.
Cast-off rows 1&2: Sl1, K1, psso. There is now 1 st on R needle. (Wrap yarn round R needle and pass the single stitch over) 3 times. Repeat until 20 st have been cast off (not counting the YOs). K to end.

Switch to size 8 (5mm) straight needles.

Continue short-row shaping in this manner through 18th row.
